FRANCE 'tide of the century'

[Mark]

A record spring tide cuts off the Normandy island of Mont Saint-Michel, with thousands flocking to view the once-in-a-lifetime spectacle

Thousands of people gathered on beaches in northern France and south west England on Saturday to watch what is being called “the high tide of the century”.


The exceptionally high spring tide, swollen by a “supermoon” effect linked to the solar eclipse on Friday, sent huge surge waves crashing onto beaches and along estuaries on both sides of the English Channel, to the delight of surfers and tourists.
