Cancale France at low tide

We experienced an extra low spring tide while we were in Cancale ( June 2003 ) Cancale is famous for it's Huitres (Oysters). It's know as the Oyster Capital of Brittany. When the tides are this low you can actually see the oyster beds. The original oyster of the region is all but extinct but from what I've read they now grow a Japanese variety.
