The Idiot, who concluded his twenty-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea in October, has just taken his first steps on the Atlantic Ocean in southwestern France.
But despite rumors in social media, The Idiot has not yet confirmed that he will attempt to be the first person to walk around the entire ocean.
Instead, during a speaking engagement in Biarritz where he discussed his recent coronation as The Idiot Emperor of Carthage in Tunisia, he simply enjoyed a pleasant Indian Summer people-watching walk on the oceanside.

The Idiot, who has not yet confirmed whether his next project will be a walk around the Atlantic Ocean, became an avid people-watcher during a Sunday saunter on the oceanside in Biarritz, France, in October.

The urban walk in Biarritz took The Idiot along the scenic Atlantic Ocean coast in southwestern France.

What intrigued The Idiot about his Atlantic Ocean outing wasn’t just the sight of, and sites on, the Atlantic Ocean. It was the totally décontracté, relaxed and laid-back nature of the strollers and sunbathers that he encountered.
