10 years since Storm Xynthia (2)

More photos from the days after the storm.

It's hard to realise the power of the sea and its waves...

...but the distorted wreckage of l'embarcadère says it all.
This was a replacement jetty, only a few years old. The next replacement has withstood all weathers ... so far.

Walking along to 'our' beach we encountered more evidence of the previous night's storm.

The bench at the end of our access point chucked over by the waves...
...and a new lake that didn't exist before...
...draining back into the sea. In the distance is where Pedro's (now Marie's) bar is in the summer. 
As for the cycle path...
...it would be hard to get through this debris.
