I used to buy the full Reeds every season, however, last year I decided that I would try the PBO Small Craft Almanac just for the convenience of up to date tide tables. Given I am still happy with the currency of the 2011 main almanac, I thought I would have a look at online resources for 2013 tide times and stumbled upon this buried in Google Maps:

https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?m....025355,14.47998&z=6&source=embed&oi=map_misc

Unsure of the provenance of the data (although I will check accuracy of areas most relevant to me) and haven't found any for France as yet but should only be a matter of time. Good enough for me!!
 
The Google link from the OP leads to a pdf of the tide times as produced by a Belfield Tide Plotter - same data in same format. :):)

The Belfield lets you click though to the tidal curve for any day anywhere but this link is a great freebee.

Some time shifts and errors in height data compared to official Falmouth data, but useful if you don't have next years local tide tables yet.
