Plan your outings according to the times of the different marshes:
"Between winds and marshes"refers to a harsh environment, between wilderness and capricious weather conditions, a setting that could recall the passage of William the Conqueror in Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme before his departure for England.
Saint-Valéry, located on the banks of the Somme River, is a marshy place, often subject to strong winds coming from the sea. This landscape of marshes and violent winds symbolized for William a sort of border between Normandy and England. Conditions were difficult for his troops, who found themselves trapped by the vagaries of the climate, between the wait for a favorable wind and the logistical challenges of embarkation.
The title may also suggest the tension between waiting and action, uncertainty and determination, that marked this crucial period in the history of the Norman conquest of England. It was here, in this setting steeped in wind and marsh, that William, after long months of uncertainty, would launch his army into an adventure that would forever change the history of the British Isles.
