They have reopened the beach.
I discovered it yesterday as I was walking along the estuary leading to the pier. The barriers have been removed, access to the beach was finally allowed.
Alone, I rediscovered these stretches of sand again, the wind on my face. I breathed in the smell of the waves.
It was 9:48 p.m. in the emerging darkness.
The sun was setting on a glassy sea, barely undulating, inviting me to join this landscape of infinite tranquility.

Description
Written in this era of social frustration, these forty-six stories open as many windows on people's lives during lockdown. Depending on the social class, the location or the psychology of the protagonist, they depict a thousand feelings and situations in an intelligent, moving or funny way.
Initially written on the author's blog on a daily basis, with the concept of "one day, one story, one character", we have brought them together in this book to resonate like a human concert.
