On my last day before I started hiking, I went to the beach with my CouchSurfing host. It was the Baie des Trépassés, close to Pointe du Raz, where I would start hiking the next day.

It was a warm day and the sun was nice. The water was cold, but I went in just to get my feet wet anyways.

There were few people at the beach. Some playing with their dogs, others playing in the water, and one playing with his dog in the water.

There was a group of retired people eating baguettes and tuna. They had a hiking guide. Right after they finished eating, they all took out their walking sticks and followed their guide. They didn’t have backpacks with them. “That was easy”, I thought to myself.

There were a few ruins that were probably from World War II. Whenever I see ruins made of concrete that look military in one way or another, I assume they’re from World War II.

And that was my day at the beach. I got a very mild sunburn, but it was already better a couple of days later.
