The waves of the Atlantic Ocean break thunderously on the cliffs. Seagulls croak in the distance. Below the quay wall a road leads directly into the ocean and ends nowhere. A little further behind, a few traffic signs are still jutting eerily out of the water.
Around 450 kilometres south-west of Paris or more appropriately, only 250 km from Le Mans, lies one of the strangest roads in the world: the Passage du Gois. It connects the island of Noirmoutier with the French mainland over a total length of almost 5 km in the Bay of Biscay. At low tide it is a road like any other — at high tide it disappears.
