Beginning of September in Messanges

Bittersweet these last summer days... mornings are getting crisper but today the heat was still there. Over 30 degrees actually, so we went to the beach in Messanges. But what is this? I have never seen so many cars before! We had to park the car further away than ever before...
The tide was high, so we didn't stay for very long, the children couldn't really swim and the shore break was so close it was scary. Hard to believe when you see how calm it looks... we usually come at low tide and there is a reason for that!
