I didn't get a photo of the actual beach this time. Like I said previously, there was a crew working over there and I didn't want to get Tasha all excited. It's not a big beach, but it is sandy. The river is shallow and slow moving there; I'm pretty sure most people could walk across it where the beach is. I wonder if the beach is natural or artificial. I've seen other small, natural beaches here and there along the river. There's a big beach in the river at Montrichard. I'll bet it draws a crowd on hot days.
The sign is positioned to be visible from Saint-Aignan. The actual beach is on the other side of the island.
Today would be a good day to go to the beach, except that I'm not really a beach person. The weather site I look at daily is projecting 33ºC (low 90sF) for this afternoon. After today, a major cool-down is predicted.
I love the beach sign (and the matching bench in the background). A beautiful shade of red, too.
ReplyDeleteMore heat!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice shade of red. By the end of my year in Paris, I developed a huge love of red... not all shades, but this one, and, like, ruby red (nothing with an orange tint). I guess I just saw so many beautiful things that year (especially the illuminated manuscripts at the Cluny museum) with beautiful red in them, it just became a color that filled me with joy every time I saw it.
mitch, I wondered if anyone would notice the bench. There are several more, here and there.
ReplyDeletejudy, my favorite red is the one used on café and bistro terrasse awnings. ;)
