Tine's been going for physiotherapy three times a week near the roundabout between Angles and Moricq. She generally stays for an hour, enough time for me to drive home and back again but not very eco-friendly in this day and age.
 |
| Solution: park up in the shade of the trees near La Tour de Moricq... |
 |
| ...with beautiful hollyhocks for company! |
 |
| The tower is impressive from all angles |
 |
| Around 4500 BC, this part of Vendée was under the sea, a bay known as Le Golf des Pictons. La Tranche was submerged but Moricq was on the coast. |
 |
| The tower served as a look-out post on the mouth of the River Lay. There's more info in French for those wanting to practise their skills.. |
 |
| One day I had no need to avoid the hot sun when the heavens opened whilst parked up in Angles... |
 |
| ...thankfully it stopped raining just in time to pick Tine up, but you can see there was still plenty of rain, thunder & lightning to come! |

Our neighbour has a copy of an ancient map of the coast allegedly from Roman times which shows Curzon on the coast!
