A path rather than a road that comes across a somewhat unexpected passage with a beautiful view from above.

The bridge was out of service; it was being cleaned and inspected. We couldn't cross the river here. We had to drive back to the next bridge before we could enter the city.

The Greenway - and the Percée Viaduct - a fascinating story, which can be read on the information panels and is very interesting to me. Here's a translation of Vaduz: Like elegant young ladies striding over the valleys of the Lilliputian kingdom, at the beginning of the 20th century, nine viaducts, including the Parfond de Gouët Viaduct, with their beautiful brick arches, stretched along the very first railway line of the local network, St. Brieuc - Plouha. These engineering structures, built by a native of the region, Louis Harel de La Noë (1852-1931), a bridge and road engineer, allowed the small train of the Côtes-du-Nord to follow the winding and steep coastline without much effort. Lightness and elegance are the words that come to mind when describing the architecture of this 1903 building, characterized by numerous columns and arched vaults and its masonry in warm brick colors. The techniques used demonstrate boldness, ingenuity, and originality: reinforced concrete anchors (rebars) were installed to increase the compressive strength of the pillars and prevent cracks.

A beautiful place with good restaurants and a beach. There's a laundromat and shops for everything you need. The beach north of the harbor is definitely the nicer one.

The Viaduct des Ponts-Neufs is an impressive historical structure in Hillion. The viaduct was built between 1913 and 1914 by Louis Auguste Harel de La Noë for the Chemins de Fer des Côtes-du-Nord. It is an arch bridge that spans the Gouessant Valley and offers a magnificent view of the waterfalls below. The viaduct is 27 metres high and 237 metres long, including a pedestrian walkway.
