Anyone familiar with oysters knows that they can have very different flavors, depending not only on the subspecies but also on their origin. The Pacific rock oyster, which is the most common in Europe after the European oyster largely became extinct, tastes different on the French Atlantic coast, for example, than in Ireland or Scotland. Oysters from the European Atlantic share a relatively high salt and mineral content. Oysters from the Mediterranean, on the other hand, are somewhat milder and have a spicy aftertaste, similar to the "Blue Point" oyster from the US East Coast. The restaurant is irrelevant; it's all about the oyster itself, and of course, the price, which is outrageously high in Germany, for example. Personally, I prefer Breton and Norman oysters because they are distinctive and meaty.

Since the work to bury the electric cable in the spring, the path is in very poor condition!!! Avoid

The history of the fort dates back to the Middle Ages, when Leucate became a border town, bordering two kingdoms. This castle was the counterpart to that of Salses, on the Spanish side. Numerous events punctuated its history, including repeated episodes of war and several memorable sieges. The most famous is undoubtedly that of 1590, during which Françoise de Cézelly earned her heroic status thanks to her heroic resistance. The fort's architecture has undergone several variations. The first, from the Middle Ages (12th and 13th centuries), was very rudimentary, with a keep originally made of wood, then quickly rebuilt in stone, and a simple manor house, which were more or less sufficient to withstand the weapons of the time. A second stone wall was built during the 13th century, taking into account the growing strategic importance of the place. It was during the Renaissance (early 16th century) that Leucate Castle underwent its greatest evolution. This was partly necessitated by the damage caused by the siege of 1590. It employed a concept that was avant-garde for the time: bastioned enclosures, devised by a handful of Italian architects, including Leonardo da Vinci. The goal was to adapt fortresses to advances in artillery. This technique would reach its peak some 150 years later with the "Vauban-style" fortresses, characterized by their star-shaped shape. It has recently been revealed that Leucate Castle was the first prototype built in Europe using this principle. The signing of the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659 by King Louis XIV definitively put an end to the border problems with Spain. At the same time, the castle's strategic value disappeared. As it was costly to maintain, first to the Province and then to the Crown, it was decided to destroy it outright. The concept of heritage was obviously nonexistent at the time. The project was awarded to a mason from Narbonne, who was given access to the gunpowder stored in the fortress's casemates. By 1665, the project was completed, and Leucate Castle had taken on the appearance it has today. The building was listed as a historic monument in 2006 (Wikipedia)

Great gravel track

After the rain, the path was a bit complicated. Lots of mud.

It was built between 1497 and 1502 in the Principality of Catalonia by the Catalan King Ferdinand II of Aragon. The fortress guarded the Catalan side of the border with France. France conquered this fortress in 1642. After the Treaty of the Pyrenees, the fortress became part of France.
