A very windy day greeted us but nevertheless we live on Baguette et Croissant so off to the village to get some and some accessories for the cycles belonging to Madame et Monsieur Durrbach. The village has a location au velo - bike hire and they had the octopus straps we needed and some compressed air for the long suffering bike Guy has been riding. Fixed.
The open farmland of the area is so spacious the air so fresh and the taste of Atlantic ocean abounds
Being so windy we thought today would be a great day to recover and go up the Phar or the lighthouse. This is one of the oldest in the world but we discovered on arrival that it closes for tours after summer so we did the new one anyway (1854).
A good steady climb saw us battling 100 knot winds at the top landing but what a view
The lighthouse in the ocean about two km out had a landing pier visible at this low tide time but 3 hours later the base was submerged in the ocean
The effort needed post lunch and after yesterday some fortification
a 360 degree shot of the local square near us on our way to dinner near the lighthouse
Monsieur with his seafood dish very happy
Our walk home through the darkness of the village - very serene and we adopted another cat on the way
