Nice single track along the ocean!
Climb up to the lighthouse via the cycle path and descend along the ocean via this small path! Or the opposite :)

It is the second oldest operational lighthouse in France and the second to have been built in 1685. Rochefort, at the time, was a base of the French navy, which could explain the presence of this early lighthouse.

Morning exercise with a sense of exploration, as it's supposed to be 38 degrees again today—so any overly hectic movements during the day will be avoided.

Very beautiful surroundings! Something completely different from the usual, which is what vacation is all about... 🏝️⛱️
