‘The Lighthouse of Whales’, what a great name! Sadly its name is because of all the washed-up whales on nearby beaches. We’ve still to see one though.
Anyone fancy the 257 steps to the top?
We didn’t go this time but I remember carrying an apprehensive Matt down when he was a toddler!
This is the old lighthouse…
…built by Vauban, famous for his Atlantic coast citadels.
The view over to La Tranche with an ‘écluse à poissons’ very visible at low tide…
…we have smaller versions at La Tranche, walls built to trap fish when the tide goes out.
Meanwhile visitors have been busy creating towers of rocks
