winds and tides

All year round the wind decides the weather in the Narbonne country. Life goes on to the rhythm of the cers and the marin. Cypresses, poplars and bamboo palisades – the countryside shows the signs of its defence against their energetic assaults. The humid marin comes in from the coast laden with heavy lethargy. So before going to the beach, check out where the wind’s coming from – your day will depend on it!
