Nothing to see here, nothing to worry about.

Is that the Loire or the Erdre ?

Maybe they should leave it in the potable water?

Quite disturbing.

It is the discharge into the Loire (47.21753, -1.51631).  We walk past it most Mondays but it was particularly "spectacular" this week. 

The previous week, on the same walk, we came across this, just across from the Super U car park. Made me think of some of your posts.  Novel way to cook eggs!!

Tuesday there was a huge pall of black smoke in the same sort of area, Mid day, 5 cars had caught fire (cause unknown) in a semi under ground car park.  All centred around  Malakoff.  Regular source of "mortar" attacks/displays/drug events.  Thankfully, although we can see it all from our flat, there is a the river which separate us from the fun and games!!

Oooh...that is where you are.

My father in law lives in Basse Goulaine.

Before that he lived in Sucé sur Erdre. I love that place. I would live there. 

Talking of discharge, do you remember when the oil tanker got into trouble off the from St Nazaire ?

We drove to Pornichet to witness the events on boxing day. 

That was a proper discharge. 

It was terrible to witness.

You would think that people would learn their lessons.

That photo looks like my 'quartier' does on the 1st January most years except that the houses are posher, and  the streets wider and a lot cleaner.

Ah, Norman, so you do live in a posh quartier; I did wonder!

ALBF, small world.  No to the oil, before our time.  We got the dead whale at Granville instead.

Sucé sur Erdre is indeed very pleasant.  Had a picnic there in glorious sunshine after a 15km walk about 4 weeks ago.
