A sally-port pierces the seaward ramparts, which extend along the promotry, upon which the Port Louis Citadelle stands. Affording views of the craggy approaches, to Lorient. With Groix silhouetted on the skyline. Mauve and mysterious.
Shaded by the wall, beside the portal, stands a thoughtfully placed, glass fronted, bookshelf; stocked with popular paperbacks.
A riot, of wildflowers, erupts from the ancient stonework.
Beyond the arch, a fan of steps gives onto the Plage du Lohic.
Which is favoured, by hardy Breton sea bathers, when the tide is high.
A short scramble, over the rocky foreshore, or across the soft silver sands of the beach, leads to the harbour entrance.
Where boat watching opportunities abound.
