    Labenne, Landes

    May 5–6, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Continuing to meander south at a leisurely pace , we are in Labenne today. Had lovely weather (till a torrential rainstorm hit us as we were walking back from the beach).
    Lovely walk through the forest (part of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela) where we came upon the Saint- Thérèse Chapel in the sand dunes.
    The beach is vast and the sea is wild! Very beautiful.
    Another beautiful place on our travels.
