feb 5 - Le Touquet-Paris-Plage

the full name of today's town is Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, Cote d'Opale, Pas de Calais and what a lovely seaside town this is. very touristy but still with oodles of charm. (and oodles of bistros! and cafes! and my first marche - market).

i ran past la plage (the beach) and stuck my toes is le sable (the sand). it seems to be a major pastime to make sculptures de sable.it was tres venteux (very windy) and i suspect this never changes. i do love the beach huts, they're like candies dotted along the beach. i ran the full length of the beach along Blvd d'Thierry Sabine and then headed out of town along the Avenue Francois Godin.

distance today: 6.2 km
distance to date: 78.4 km
