Régneville is a small town with a rich history. The « fours à chaux » in Régneville are disused limestone kilns that date back to the 19th century. 
The local limestone used to be converted into quicklime and the kilns were powered by coal from Wales. Nowdays, the kilns are used as an amphitheatre to host concerts, ballets and plays during the summer months. 
The 18th century lighthouse at Agon Point gives an excellent view of Régneville. The estuary is enclosed by moving sand dunes so it's best to explore this area by foot.
The 14th century remains of Régneville castle can be seen on the journey from Monmartin-sur-mer to Régneville. It survived the 100 years' war only to be blown up by orders of King Louis XIII in 1637.
To take these shots I used a Canon EOS 1DS Mark 3 with Canon zooms 24-70 2.8L and 70–200 2.8 ISL.
