(visited by Ross Finlayson)

17-Oct-2023 -- From [45,-1], I returned to Bordeaux, and then made the long drive (fortunately, mostly on an expressway) Northeast towards this Degree Confluence Point, which I reached about an hour before sunset. The point lies in a farm field, currently fallow and grass-covered, about 170m North of a narrow rural road. The point itself is rather boring, but to reach it, I ended up passing through several small, rustic villages.

From the road, I flew my drone North and then South along the Prime Meridian. Here is a remote-controlled aerial video of this confluence point.
