Back to the beach

It has to be said that walks along the beach are definitely our favourites and here are a couple from recent days (continuing our healthy January regime).

Firstly La Pointe de l'Aiguillon:
The bridge from La Rochelle to the Isle de Ré seen over the Golfe de Picton
The high tide mark, a pattern of mussel and oyster shells.
A cluster of large oyster shells.
Windswept dunes
Finally the Pointe itself where the estuary meets the sea.

Another day on our way back from Longeville we called at Le Rocher, well wrapped up against the elements but tasting a BIT of warmth from the sun!



I found this Roman map ont'interweb. Have a closer look to spot La Tranche and many of the places we visit. This is the Golfe de Picton.
