A tidal bore is a series of waves propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising. It forms during spring tide conditions when the tidal range exceeds 4 to 6 m and the flood tide is confined to a narrow funnelled estuary. Herein the writer aims to share his enthusiasm and passion for tidal bores by documenting several tidal bores in France with photographic observations. More than 65 photographs are presented and documented. This technical report is supported by a digital appendix (Appendix B) containing a slide show movie and two sound records available at the University of Queensland institutional open access repository UQeSpace {http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/}.
