loriwatson98 Says: When the tide goes out here it REALLY goes out. The entire harbor was a sea of mud. Pretty cool to see. There was a great fresh fish seller on the docks.
loriwatson98 Says: The Saint Martin Church was interesting. This church was in the center of the village....Very old and battered. When I took picturesof the Nave I got some odd orbs in one photo. This church was built around 1100. The Nave and the porch are the oldest parts. The stained glass...
extrajoce Says: The centre of this village is fairly small, with a parking space in front of the bridge, and a square just beyond that. This view is from the Pleiades Hotel, and shows the bridge leading to the marina. A very nice place to relax in.
extrajoce Says: The nice little boats in the marina give it enough charm and authenticity, as it is still a small local harbour and nothing more. There are few fishing boats, so the whole estuary has retained much of its character.

extrajoce Says: This bridge has 13 arches (hence the name of the restaurant at its foot) and is a nice, old stone construction. It has no sidewalk, but everyone uses it to reach the beach. It gives Port-Bail even more charm.
extrajoce Says: A XIIth century beauty, this church is the main landmark of Port-Bail, right next to the water way which rises with the tides. At night, it is even more beautiful. It can not be missed, as it stands next to the main road and the bridge, in the village centre.
extrajoce Says: This cute village is on the western coast of the tip in Normandie. As seen from its nice bridge, it has retained much of its charm and is well worth a stop-over.
The Normandy family decided to take us to Port-Bail as I said I wanted to get some pictures of an "old church". I wondered at their entertained looks, but realized later that old churches are...
