"We took advantage of an open day to go and see the dinosaur tracks in Courtedoux. Clearly we weren't the only ones to have had that idea, given the number of vehicles parked at the junction in Chevenez. It was a rainy morning, so we had done well to put our boots on before going to the site. We quickly joined a group led by a palaeontologist who offers a guided tour. We learned that the climate of the region in those days was quite similar to that of the Bahamas today. Although our guide was a scientist, he gave clear explanations of the dinosaur species that had left their tracks on the stone slabs. It was incredible to think that we were looking at the remains of a walk on the beach, many millions of years later. We wondered whether our children would one day find the tracks that we must have left on the beaches on our holidays."
