After storm Karlotta (1)

As hinted last time, we've had fun and games again on the Atlantic coast on 11th February. Thankfully not as devastating as storm Xynthia in 2010 but still worrying.

The storm took place at the weekend so there were lots of sightseers the next day with the return of blue skies 

Entry to the promenade/boardwalk was blocked near to le Pavillon...

...and here was why, the very high tide was washing the walls.

Later on, the tide has gone out...

...and you can see how busy council workers were at 6am...


...parts of the walkway safely stored by le plan d'eau.

A few concrete blocks have come in useful to protect the damaged water overflow mentioned in my last post.

Alongside this group of surfers were very happy with conditions!
