A day trip to Camaret included a return to the Tour Vauban, which I last visited about fifteen years ago. It's an impressive coastal fort built to defend Camaret against the English in the late 1600's. This time I didn't go inside as we had the dog along for the trip but it was worth an hour and a bit drive nonetheless.
It’s a magical little site, I think it put Vauban in the spotlight for the first time. Forty years ago I was sailing with my dad and we tied up almost in its shadow.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very atmospheric location.
