Le plan d'eau and a very high tide

So back in our time machine just a few months, before Christmas festivities took hold.

Firstly quiet times at the end of the afternoon looking over 'le plan d'eau' where boating/sailing skills are taught

I often call it the boating lake, but it sounds very 50s UK holiday-time, doesn't it?!

Anyway it's great for a view of our fantastic sunsets, I'm sure you agree

A few days later and we have a very high tide with big (for us) waves

We're normally protected from more dramatic waves by l'Île de Ré, just over la Baie d'Aunis

There's not much beach left here!
