La Houle, the long low ever present Biscay ground swell shatters upon the unyielding granite foundations, upon which the Ile d'Yeu's soft beaches rest.
A coast path rises and falls through the dunes. Circling the island.
Picking its way through dense, low, prickly vegetation.
Glittering white quartz teeth cut the green canopy above the Plage du But.
Where the ancient stone building civilisation has sited the cruciform Dolmen de la Planche-a-Puare.
Located prominently above the tumbling seascape. Whether for the sake of its view, or its visibility from seaward, is known only to its creators.
