Atlantic Wall Isle de Sein






We went on a boat trip to the Isle de Sein off the Western tip of Brittany a couple of days ago. It's a lovely place but a bit on the small side, with a port and lighthouse being the main attractions, although there is also a memorial to De Gaulle, who took a boat from the island in 1940 to get to the UK. There is an equally small section of the Atlantic Wall consisting of two bunkers situated to cover the port and beach. These are unusual, being more like British pill boxes than the usual Tobruk Stands that you'd expect to see in this sort of location. It really is a lovely place and well worth a visit.
