Story
This is a walk more than a hike. It's right next to the city of Saint-Paul, but nevertheless somehow remote. It's a nice and quite walk that'll take you around part of the old pound and through the site of the now demolished 428 meter-Omega antenna that overlooked the Bay of Saint-Paul until 1999. That place is a bit weird and could easily inspire a German film director looking for some kind of 1970's movie set locations. On the way back, the walk is mostly along the bay.
