Shellfish, a guide and a field notebook

Who hasn't picked up a nice shell on a beach? To help you identify it, this practical guide presents 80 species of shells that can be found on our coasts.

"Coquillages": a very simple name for a work that will be of service to many walkers by the sea. Indeed, this little guide gathers and classifies the shells that can be collected on the seafront, whether on the Atlantic coast or in the Mediterranean.
