I’m MarcoVelours, and in C.ICI I note down my favourite curiosities. My mood of the moment: Warm · Conversation and lasting connection · Urban. Tone: steady. Target area: **Pays de la Loire** (region). Today, I’m placing the pin on **Passage du Gois** (Pays de la Loire (Vendée)), a **Unique place**. A road that disappears twice a day: you have to accept the sea’s timetable. Why it stands out: - location: in or near the area, accessible without turning it into a complicated trip - distinctive feature: a sharp break (shape, light, subsoil, contrast, history) that leaves an impression - feeling: you can simply come, look, and leave with an image in your mind Coordinates (legacy OU field): `@46.962000,-2.126000;13`. If you have another spot for this area, reply with a place + an ideal season.
