Our final few glimpses of Camaret are a little on the grey, drizzly side.
As it starts to really rain we pop into Notre Dame de Rocamadour, or the Church of the Fishermen.
This attractive little church is situated out on the breakwater and lost its steeple to an English canon ball in 1694 during a naval battle between French and Anglo-Dutch vessels.
Inside the charming little church are various sea based religious icons. There are also three models of boats hanging from the nave.
The light coloured stone of the church’s interior feels light and airy and candles flicker against the warm, swirling stonework that almost resembles marble.
One of the most iconic symbols of Camaret is the Tour Vauban (Vauban Tower), initially known as the tour de Camaret – a 18m-high polygonal defensive tower.
It has three levels and is flanked by walls, a guardhouse and a gun battery which can hold 11 cannons as well as a cannonball foundry added in the French Revolution period.
Close to the tower, visitors have created their own little stone towers on the pebbly waterside jetty – also know as the sillon.
These stone cairns are oddly soothing to look at on this cloudy, grey day.
