Moonlight over Saint Jean-de-Luz. In the background the mountain "Rhune", first summit of the Pyrenees.

Since 1924, the rack train makes it possible to reach the summit without effort. From the pass of St. Ignace, the famous cogwheel train climbs in 35 min. to the top of the Rhune. It crosses a wild nature and the road of the sheep and "pottoks", these small endemic wild horses living in freedom on the slopes of the mountain (see PiP's).

There is a nice view to the "Rhune", the highest summit around. The scanned postcard shows quite well the proximity of this mountain to the ocean.
