Le Signal Building

Highlight • Monument

There are places whose name predestines them to become symbols, such as the city of Paradise in California, which went up in smoke and was wiped off the map by a mega-fire.

In France too we have our symbol with the building “Le Signal”. Built in 1967, it was located at the time 200 meters from the beach. Some saw it as a way to invest or afford an apartment by the sea. But as the ocean gradually eroded the coastline, it shattered this dream, and the building has since been threatened with each high tide. by the waves attacking the dune and cracking its foundations. The building was emptied of all its occupants after a succession of legal incidents. Today, it is no more than a wasteland left to the mercy of graffiti artists, rising like the ghost of an illusion shattered by the waves and the forces of nature.

Having become the symbol of coastal erosion, which is particularly severe in Aquitaine, its demolition has been scheduled for 2023.
But one question will remain: will we be able to hear (in the double sense of the word) the Signal?

The best thing to do is try an ice cream at Judici. At 3.10 per scoop, it's not cheap, but it's homemade. Noisettines du Medoc ice cream is super delicious 😋

The lettering is a popular photo motif, something that can rarely be captured without other people.

It doesn't get much fresher than this and the fish market is a hit.

Pavillon de Guyenne

Highlight • Monument

Looks like wood but is concrete and has a very old history. This house was originally the Pavillon de Guyenne, built by Albert Tournaire for the Bordeaux Exhibition of 1895. It was dismantled and transported to Soulac.
