Walk the granite ramparts for 360-degree ocean views and total wind exposure. It feels more like a pirate fortress than a quiet French town. Skip the pricey harbor-side bistros and grab a galette-saucisse from a street window instead. Time your visit with the tide; the water surrounds the Fort National twice a day. Spend three hours exploring the narrow alleys, but keep moving to avoid the biggest souvenir shop crowds near the main gates.
