Dear Martin,
Thank you for your encouraging information. My husband is very
interested in visiting the beaches at Normandy, so this would work out
perfectly. I have always wanted to visit Mont St. Michel, but everyone
says it is soooo touristy so maybe I won't get there. I really
appreciate your help! Thanks.....Jennifer

stated,

I'd

>> Thanks for your help and advice. You are a MOST IMPRESSIVE
group!

> You can find quite a lot of shells in Normandy. I had good
results

valves

an

>In the West I collected on the beach of Surtainville, where you can
find

the

molluscs
>there on the rocks e.g. Trivia monacha and Patella intermedia. French
are

>In the bay of Mont St. Michel also shelling is possibel, I collected in
>Cherreuix (just in Brittany) where very nice specimens of Ocenebra
erinacea
>can be found. The cretaceous cliffs in the north-east of Normandy
>(Dieppe-cap d'Antifer) yields only a few molluscs, but the cliffs are
>spectacular.
