October 9 — Audierne and Pointe du Raz

Highlight of the day a drive out to the Pointe du Raz, the western-most part of France.  This spot reportedly gets a million visitors in the summer months!  We are practically alone, one of the benefits of off-season travel!  The sun shines brightly – in fact I find I’m slightly sunburned from walking the trail.  Lunch at the hotel in the Baie de Trespases, where bodies washed up from shipwrecks in the old days.  Today there are just a bunch of German surfers in body suits on the beach, and two young women who plunge into the frigid water in bikinis – to impress the surfers?
