| Wendy went for a swim at the small beach to the north of the Solidor, while I was exploring the headland. |
By the time I got down there it looked like this. The tides here vary as much as 12 metres. |

Solidor Tower
Solidor Tower is a strengthened keep with three linked towers, located in the estuary of the river Rance in Brittany. It was built between 1369 and 1382 by John V, Duke of Brittany to control access to the Rance at a time when the city of Saint-Malo did not recognize his authority. Over the centuries the tower lost its military interest and became a jail. It is now a museum celebrating Breton sailors exploring Cape Horn.
