June 9, 2025,🇫🇷 ☀️ Strandrunde & Auf dem Dach von Notre Dame de la mer ⛪️

Today it was actually a bit warmer. With 30 degrees Celsius and a cloudless sky, we were really sweating. Even though we hiked right along the sea for a while, it felt like we were hiking through the desert 🥵. After the hike, we had to cool off in the sea.
