Plage de Ronce-les-Bains
You sink ankle-deep into sand the color of biscuit, the Atlantic breeze carrying salt and resin from the maritime pines that line the esplanade. Families stake umbrellas near the lifeguard tower while windsurfers carve figure-eights beyond the sandbar, and by evening the sky bleeds peach and violet over oyster-farming platforms anchored offshore.
