This road goes under the water twice a day

Passage du Gua - a road laid along the bottom of the Gulf, which connects the mainland with the island of Noirmoutier France. Twice a day, after the tide, it becomes available for a few hours for movement. The rest of the tide flooded it to a level of 4 meters.

Website publish photos of the road, ride on which dare not everyone.







The natural transition between the island and the mainland, acting at low tide, was first marked on the map in 1701. In 1840, it was built on the road of cobblestones, which allowed to move as a horse, and the carts. Now the length of the road is 4, 5 km.







Small, seemingly a very dangerous path. On both sides of the road signs indicating the set time of hot flushes, however, each year, many are trapped quickly arriving water flow. Especially for these people to make life-saving tower, so they can wait for the care of water. Only here the car, unfortunately, can not be saved.
