We are often treated to good weather in September when the majority of tourists leave for work and school. We also get a spring tide (nothing to do with the season of spring I have just learned, but the 'springing forth' of the tide). This is when there is the greatest difference in the high and low tide.

| A rare view of Le Pavillon from beyond the rock pools |

| Searching for hermit crabs |
 |
| An old breakwater becomes visible at very low tide... |
 |
| ...the three remaining posts look like figures from a distance. |
 |
| A few days later Tine & I enjoy a coffee at La Villa, La Tranche's newest café/restaurant with its amazing view |
 |
| I told you nearly everyone had gone home! |
 |
| It's always fun to be able to walk round the end of the jetty! |
 |
| Tine's photo under the jetty: I love the alignment of the shadow with the structure |
 |
| Tine's still not sure what she spotted wriggling its way out of the sand. Any ideas? |
 |
| All the boats are stranded until the tide turns... |
 |
| ...a good opportunity to lift the marker buoys. |
 |
| A few hours later and it's high tide again. It's a good job the sea was calm! |
