The bay at low tide

Le Crotoy is a nice little town at the Baie de Somme and its particular landscape. A place where the river Somme flows into the sea. And where the sea at low tide leaves a large bay of sand where you can sometimes catch sights of the seals sleeping on the sand banks...

Le Crotoy was also the first stop of our Girls trip to Picardy and Normandy.
On this rainy week-end around the 15th of august, we decided to hit the road and drive down the western coast of France...until we found some sun :-)

After Le Crotoy, we went to Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme, Honfleur, and Deauville-les-Bains.

I've travelled there with VT-members ptitetoile and titanik , have a look at their pages :-)

Dancing in the rain sounds like the best thing you could have done. ;-)
