Looking northerly along the sea wall of Cancale at la Houle -- the harbor. Just beyond the sail of the boat you can see a dark brownish ramp that leads from the Lighthouse (not shown off frame left) down into the harbor at low tide. The "ramp" was replaced by a masonry "jetty" called Cale de la FenĂȘtre. You can see the "ramp" in the photo below.
