Outside, we visit the "Plage des Dames".  According to some this place was a site of ceremonies celebrated by ancient Celtic druidesses.  A more recent explanation is that in the mid 1800's this is one of the first places where the ladies of Europe came to bath in the ocean.  According to that legend, the modern industry of leisure was born here.  The term "tourism" would soon be coined to describe this phenomenon.
