Učna ura romantike ob mogočnih klifih Etretat, Francija

Nikoli si nisem mislil, da mi bo plima oziroma oseka tako krojila potovanje, kot se to dogajalo v Bretanji in Normandiji. Hecna stvar je namreč tale voda, ki se v stilu umika oziroma prihaja ob najbolj nemogočih urah – v našem primeru zjutraj in zvečer. Najprej izgine (v primeru zaliva Mont Saint Michel) tudi več kot 30 kilometrov daleč, potem pa čez nekaj ur prileti s hitrostjo 15km/uro, da ti stvari sploh niso jasne.  In kljub vsem napisom na različnih info tablah in opozorilih kdaj se kam sme in ne sme, nam je vedno uspelo stvari nekako zamešati. 🙂 🙂 Etretat, simpatično mestece na severu Normandije, ni magnet zaradi simpatičnih zgradb samih. So pa nadvse simpatični in odčudovanja vredni mogočni morski klifi severno in južno od mesteca. In če priletiš v tiste konce med vikendom spoznaš, da so francozi res pravi uživači, predvsem pa prvaki v romantiki. Dekce in piknik kovčki so bili na našo sončno soboto vsepovsod. In če so bile čez dan stvari še razumljive in je bilo prav simpatično opazovati vse tiste zaljubljene parčke, ki objeti ležijo na vseh možnih travnatih zaplatah in se ne pustijo motiti procesijam ljudi tik ob njih, pa je zvečer, ko so temperature padle na konkretno pozno jesenske temperature, postala še toliko bolj zanimiva. Na vrsto so prišle jagode, pa ohlajeni šampanjci… Skratka, učna ura romantike v naravi. 😉

I never thought that the low and high tide will affect my journey so much as in Brittany and Normandy. Because we come from Adriatic see, we were amazed by the figures, that it disappears in some cases more then 30 kilometers away and it comes back at a speed of 15km/h. 🙂 Up to 15 meters is the difference between low and hide tide and because we had low tide at the evening, it was really not good for photography. Etretat, a pretty town in the north of Normandy, is a magnet for tourists not because of the cute town itself, but because of the majestic cliffs on the northern and southern part of the town. And if you come to this places during the weekend, you will realize that the French people are true champions in romance. 🙂 Picnic boxes were on our sunny day almost everywhere and it was really fun to observe all those couples, truly in love, lying on every patch of free grass. In the evening things became even more interesting. 🙂 There was plenty of champagne, strawberries and things became a bit hot – even if the temperatures were really autumn like. 🙂 🙂
