The story

Those two figures at the base of the arch give you the scale. The spot is now off limits. Falling rocks. Erosion. Municipal decree. You'd get fined if you try. Monet used to set up right there, canvas and all. He knew he had two hours before the water came back. You can hike the cliff path, see the Manneporte from above. You can take a kayak and see it from the water. But feeling that arch over your head? That's gone.
