North of Saint-Brevin on the Nez de Chien beach, at "the transverse limit of the sea" (border between fluvial and maritime space), emerges the immense Ocean Serpent by the Chinese artist Huang Yong Ping whose skeleton appears to come from an archaeological excavation.
Its movement makes it come alive: we can guess that it has crossed the seas to wash up its enormous mouth on this beach.
The line of its vertebrae plays with the curve of the Saint-Nazaire bridge, and the way in which it is posed recalls the architecture of the squares, these fisheries typical of the Atlantic coast. Positioned on the foreshore, the skeleton appears to the rhythm of the tide, and will gradually welcome marine fauna and flora.
