L'Aiguillon-la-Presqu'ile

The neighbouring town to the south of us is l'Aiguillon-la-Presqu'ile (l'Aiguillon-the-Peninsular). It doesn't lie right on the coast but the beach isn't too far away. 

There's a very active fishing/mussel farming community though...

...here on the estuary of the River Lay.


There's also a big boat repair business.

Walking along towards to bridge to La Faute-sur-Mer, the two towns now merged into one

I discover that there are changes afoot...

...a new footbridge to replace the old one.

A view of the river at low tide, looking upstream.

We'll let them get on with it!

A couple of weeks later, work continues.


The huge floating crane...

...and more water in the river.
