Le 10 juillet 2024
A l’occasion d’un n-ième déplacement professionnel, cette fois-ci en Irlande du Nord, visite en fin d’après-midi de la bien connue Chaussée des Géants située au nord de l’Irlande à un peu plus d’une heure de route de Belfast. Ces trottoirs de bord de mer faits d’un damier d’orgues basaltiques parfaitement formées et assemblées constitue sans doute la première destination touristique de cette enclave britannique, et à juste titre pour cette formation volcanique exceptionnelle. Par contre et bien sûr, ne pas espérer pouvoir en profiter sans une forte pression touristique, bien loin donc des magnifiques falaises d’orgues basaltiques de Palmarola en Mer Tyrrhénienne ou de Glaronissia en Mer Egée.
Quelques semaines après une virée en Ecosse, encore un voyage plaisant au final, malgré la météo… irlandaise en cette mi-juillet, sous le plus souvent le crachin ou le plafond nuageux bas, et dans des températures n’excédant pas 18°C. Loin des images maintenant éculées du conflit, Belfast est une ville dynamique et animée qui constitue un bon camp de base pour aller visiter les montagnes voisines, la campagne verte de bocages et blanche de moutons, ou une côte volcanique et calcaire variée.
