Devil's Hole

Highlight • Beach

The hole of the Devil is a sea cave due to the erosion of the rocks by the waves. When the sea is rough, the water seems to boil and gush from the roof of the cave. A truly remarkable view.

Avenue de la Corniche

Highlight • Other

Here you can observe the changing nature of the sea and the coastline. For three kilometres, the rocky coasts put on a show. The island of Rié which existed here no longer exists. The tide has settled on the inlet between the island and the mainland, filling it in and bringing it together.
