More fun with Edith & John

The great thing about having out-of-season visitors is that everywhere is quieter and we're able to do more sightseeing (plus the excellent weather this September was an added bonus).

Back to Moricq with its mediaeval tower built to defend the Lay estuary when Moricq was a port - it's now a few kilometres inland from La Tranche.

One question often asked is what happens to the magnificent sunflowers at the end of the season. Well you can see here that they end up hanging their heads in shame at the thought of being used for oil!

As for maize, no wonderful corn-on-the-cob dishes,  they're practically all used as animal fodder. What a shame!

Another day we had very low tides and Tine taught our guests the art of shrimping beyond the end of the jetty

John & Tine were even spotted in action by friend Yvette - merci pour le photo!

Beautiful days and a fantastic sunset one day, Cantine in full appreciation!
