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

Perched high above the coast of Saint-Jean-le-Thomas, with breathtaking views of the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel, stands the Cabane Vauban – a silent witness to a bygone era. This small stone hut dates back to the 17th century and was built during the reign of the great fortress builder Vauban. It once served as a watchtower, monitoring the coast and controlling smuggling.

Between Carolles and Saint-Jean-le-Thomas, beaches, cliffs, and the picturesque Lude Valley alternate. From the valley, the Rocher du Sard and the historic Cabane Vauban offer spectacular views of the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel. Part of the route runs along the historic Customs Path, where sentries and customs officers once monitored the coast. The flat sandy beaches and mudflats at low tide invite strolls, and the GR 223 combines nature, history, and coastal panorama for a particularly charming hike.

The Cabane Vauban was built in the 17th century and is named after the famous French fortification engineer Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, who was responsible for the design and reinforcement of numerous coastal fortifications during the reign of Louis XIV. The hut originally served as a shelter for sentries and customs officers monitoring the coast to detect smugglers or enemy ships early. While there are several similar observation points along the Normandy coast, the Cabane Vauban near Carolles is considered the most well-known and well-preserved.

Such a quiet and beautiful place

Please note, there is also a small stream flowing there. Quite nice to take a look at the waterfront.
