Cabane Tchanquée, a photo from Aquitaine, West

Photographer's Note

There are 2 "cabanes tchanquées" (wooden houses on piles - tchanque = long leg in old gascony language) on the main island (Bird island) of the Arcachon bay At high tide, they are just above the sea level. At low tide, if you get a boat, you can land on the sandy beach and walk close to them. This one has been rebuilt and should become a museum.
A "must" to see when visiting the Arcachon bay!

Salut Clodo
Glad to see you are using the post-lockdown freedom to its full potential, who knows what's next.
Great image that must have been taken from a boat or a house like the one in the photo but it looks as if you were walking on water. Atmosphere of summer well captured.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Claude,
A bright and pleasant view. The persons and the canoes create a very nice atmosphere. It looks like from a tourism pamphlet: "Things to do in Arcachon".
Regards,
Gert

Bonsoir Claude,
Une maison sur pilotis sous laquelle vous pouvez naviguer.
J'aime la luminosité de la photo et son sentiment d'été.
Magnifiques nuages blancs en arrière-plan.
Amitiés, Paul

Salut Claude,
intéressante vue de cet emblème du Bassin avec une de ces célèbres cabanes sur pilotis, bien cadré à marée haute et avec ces kayakistes qui te saluent, belle lumière et donc teintes.

Hello Claude,

Splendid picture with the pole house.
The small boat in foreground is a nice addition.
Nice composition and pleasant to look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,

Hi Claude
That looks like a perfect place for anglers to fish and escape a few days in peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Love its vivid detail and great sky, of course the cracking red has boosted the visual appeal. Excellent
Best regards

Hi Claude,
Surprising to see such a house built isolated from land. Surely a fun place to visit. And architecture looks very nice. Good to see those kayaks too.
