Description
After series of the Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria I thought it's time for France. The old fort of Ambleteuse (as known as fort Mahon) has been built from 1680 to 1690 by Louis XIV. Ambleteuse lies south from Calais, and it is situated on a place where ebb and flow cause large differences, up to 6 meters (20 feet). You can see the green parts here that will soon be covered by the water of the Channel and the Northsea.

A six meter difference between high and low tide, that's ... umm ... a lot! You had to be quick not to get wet feet when the tide turned. Excellent pov, and the fort looks pretty imposing.
