Monument to Jacques de Laporte

Saint Helena, to whom the church here in Hourtin is dedicated, was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who, after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" in front of Rome, recognized Christianity as a religion and ended the long period of persecution with the "Edict of Toleration" of Milan). In the early fourth century, she made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and brought numerous relics back to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. She is therefore often depicted in paintings or as a statue with a cross as an attribute. The feast day of Saint Helena in the calendar of saints is August 18th.

Beautiful church on the equally beautiful village square of Hourtin. There is also a regular market here with good quality fruit, vegetables, wine, cheese, etc.

Nice little church in Hourtin.

Nice sea view. Everything else is a matter of taste.

At this point or a whole section of the road is closed to cars in summer. Nice surface from the EV1 coastal cycle path.

Montalivet-les-Bains is a seaside resort in the Médoc region in the Gironde department on France's Atlantic coast. Together with Vendays, which is a little inland, it forms the municipality of Vendays-Montalivet. The seaside resort with a sandy beach only comes alive during the season, which lasts from June to September. Montalivet has two campsites and a camper place. With the facilities of the CHM-Montalivet and the Euronat, located a little to the north in the area of the municipality of Grayan-et-l'Hôpital, it is a center of French and international naturist tourism.

Nestled between lakes and ocean in the Hourtin nature reserve, the Contaut lagoon is an exceptional natural site. A wooden footbridge facilitates its crossing in a remarkable green setting.
