High equinox tides: the inhabitants of Vendée, still marked by the storm Xynthia, worried. From Sunday to Tuesday, the west and north coast will face exceptional high tides.
This time of year when day and night have exactly the same duration. It was partly this phenomenon which caused the Xyn Cynthia disaster in the winter of 2010. Since the start of the weekend, several beaches in the area have been closed as a precautionary measure.. Charles Guyard / Photo credits: GILLES TARGAT / PHOTO12
