This afternoon I was sitting looking at this view

calm and quiet, beautiful. I was watching the tide come in (la marée monter). I was on the Ile d'Oléron, you can see the bridge I took from the continent, and behind it the bridge over the river Seudre - all in Charente Maritime of course. This is the region where the oysters (huitres) are grown, some under all this water!
