The website for the film documentary "Border Paths – The Customs Officers' Trail" states: "The historic Customs Officers' Trail, now one of France's most popular hiking trails, begins at the famous pilgrimage site of Mont St. Michel. Along its 1,700 kilometers, between Mont St. Michel in the north and St. Nazaire in the south of the Breton peninsula, visitors can discover impressive landscapes with a diverse range of flora and fauna. Passing rugged cliffs, vast dune landscapes, and seemingly endless beaches, hikers become border crossers on a floating border that shifts with the rhythm of the tides." The film about the "Sentier des Douaniers" (duration: 43 minutes / language: German) in the ARD media library can be found via the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/grenzwege-der-zoellnerpfad/grenzwege-der-zoellnerpfad/mdr/Y3JpZDovL21kci5kZS9zZW5kdW5nLzI4MjA0MC81MjE2OTktNTAxNzM2

We specifically waited until the tide went out.

This ancient tomb is partly collapsed. A covered walkway was always covered with stones or earth. What you can see now is what remains of the structure of this Neolithic monument. This dolmen is dated 4,500 years before present time. You have a beautiful 360 degree view when you are on site.

Very nice old customs officer path

The Pierres Pouquelées are a Neolithic covered walkway dating around 4500 BC. There is a beautiful view of Vauville and the Manche The covered walkway faces north-west/south-east. Very ruined, it is currently 14.50 m long for an interior width of about 1.25 m and an exterior width of 2.40 m for a height under the table of 1.20 m. The entrance appears to be sideways to the southwest. The slabs are in quartz sandstone, except for two cover tables which are in granite and probably come from a site 3 km away, located at sea level. The covered walkway was excavated in 1755, before the covering tables were removed, by the Royal Academic Society of Cherbourg. At the beginning of the 19th century (around 1830), the cover tables were recovered by the inhabitants in order to build a bridge. Alerted, the sub-prefect of Valognes ordered it to be put back in place, but the blocks were simply deposited on the site: they are certainly those lying on the ground a few meters from the alley1. A good part of the orthostats disappeared in 1833.

Shaded section of the tour

Very high and in the long run also strenuous dunes to climb... but worth every step

Bird observatory in a hut in the reed belt
