Down To The Sea

Wandering Around The Cottage - October Edition

Ploumanac'h - from the chapel to the beach

Last time, I left you panting after that last steep street, in front of the chapelle de la Clarté.

The above picture I stole for you on Wikipedia, because there were too many cars parked in front of the chapel the day I was there to take a nice picture of the whole building.

Je vous ai donc abandonné lors de mon dernier article tout(e) essoufflé(e) en haut de la côte qui mène à la Chapelle de la Clarté. Je n'ai pas pu prendre de vue d'ensemble de la chapelle: trop de voitures et un appareil avec un angle trop restreint, la toute première photo vient donc de Wikipedia.

I was totally in love with that angel above the door. I would have loved to bring him back home.

Behind the chapel is a huge place that is used for outside theater performances or concerts... with a wonderful seaview! Again, the summer was so hot that we have unusual yellow grass.

Alors qu'on commence à descendre à nouveau vers les plages, on a une jolie vue de l'île Tomé... Enfin, d'après ma lecture de la super carte IGN, si je me trompe, corrigez-moi!

As we go down from the chapel to the beach again, we can see the island Tomé (if  I read the map correctly - I'm only a woman after all!).  

You can also see the beautiful houses of Perros-Guirec, on the other side of the sea. I'll try and take you to Perros-Guirec an other time, if you're really nice.

Sur la côte opposée, on devine les riches maisons de Perros-Guirec.

As I was taking pictures of those wonderful pinkish rocks in the blue blue sea, a man stopped me and told me his dogs was much more worth my picture taking! 

So I snapped a pic!

Alors que, comme un peu tout le monde, je photographiais les amas de rochers dans la mer, un promeneur m'a arrêtée pour me dire que son chien était bien plus digne d'une photo... Evidemment, j'ai craqué quand j'ai vu les oreilles tombantes et les yeux noisette... 

At some points, rocks creates a lake of sea water.

Some of the rocks have names. Yes, we name rocks, that's how crazy we are in Brittany. This one is "the bottle". I'll have to go back to take more pictures, because at that point my camera was begining to say the battery was depleted.

Certains rochers ont des noms et celui-ci s'appelle "la bouteille"!

At that point, I was really tired, but finding the lighthouse gave me back some energy and I believe because the sun wasn't as high, the rocks took their most beautiful colour.

Je commençais honnêtement à ne plus sentir mes pieds ni mon dos à ce point de la promenade, mais découvrir le phare (et son chemin impossible à trouver!) a vraiment été le clou de la journée.

De plus, alors que le soleil commençait à descendre, les rochers ont pris leurs plus belles couleurs.

I hope you're not too tired after walking that much. 

J'espère que cette marche ne vous a pas trop fatigué (e).

A bientôt,

See you soon,

I'm sharing that walk with:
