This road in France disappears underwater twice everyday!

Passage du Gois is one famous road in France, noted for a bizarre natural phenomenon. This 4.15 km long road disappears underwater twice a day! Yes, you read that right. The road disappears twice everyday, owing to high tide. The road attracts curious travellers from across the planet, who visit it to witness the natural phenomenon.

This unique road connects the Gulf of Burnёf with the island of Noirmoutier. The passage might be beautiful, but it’s also extremely dangerous. The road disappears nearly 13 ft under the water, making it completely invisible twice a day for a few hours, because of the high tide.
Of course, drivers on the road are asked to beware of the unseen upcoming wave. In case accidents occur, people are left stranded on the road for hours. Therefore, the authorities here have set tall emergency towers so that people, if stuck in such a situation, can climb and wait to be rescued. As soon as the water level goes down, the road is left in slimy seaweed, making it extremely difficult to walk on the road. It gets all slippery and dangerous!

So, if you’re planning a trip to France, make sure to add this bizarre attraction to your bucket list, which is worth all the hype! But only if you’re up for some extreme and unusual adventures. Every year, the Foulées du Gois, a foot race, is also organised across the road, starting at the onset of high tide!
