Last month, I crossed the "Barrage de la Rance", briefly shown at 2:30 in the video. This is a tidal power plant ("usine marémotrice" in French) built in the estuary of the river Rance in Brittany.
Best wishes,
Hans

How cool! I think the idea of tidal power is really something we should look into in more detail.

This You Tube video demonstrates dramatically the tide changes. Other similar videos at "Bay of Fundy tides time lapse" on You Tube.
