Picnic at Veillon

We took note of the weather forecast and packed up a picnic to enjoy at the beautiful Plage du Veillon, near to Port Bourgenay. Sadly the winter weather has about halved the size of the dunes there but there is still a massive expanse of sands.

Behind the dunes is the Payré river, winding its way into the sea. There are lots of oyster beds in the distance for fans of this delicacy!

Quite a lot of sand has gone from the north end of the beach, uncovering this stone wall

I'm wondering if these are to measure changes on the beach. Any ideas?

Meanwhile Alfie's first picnic was a success, although he preferred milk to the roast gammon and brie sandwiches!

However he loved the sunlight playing through the leaves
