A view of Locmalo, Port Louis' second port.
A lot of fishing gear was staged on this dock. I didn't have a wide-angle lens to take a proper image. So I tried a different slant.
Murielle cooked up the buckwheat crepes for us. She would not eat until everyone had been served and were full. This is traditional behaviour when Bre (...)
This school was built in 1863. It is typical of the communal schools of the time. The school yard is enclosed and shaded by large trees with white, sc (...)
The first course was crepes dipped in "lait ribaud" (fermented milk). This is an acquired taste so I only had one. That didn't stop the others. Dippin (...)
The town has worked hard to preserve what heritage remains. The gardens are renowned throughout Brittany.
I made up for it with the other crepes - shrooms & ham, ham & Swiss cheese. Not necessarily in that order, but made to order. I was shocked to learn (...)

A view upstream from the main bridge. Hennebont was quite bombarded during the war and most of the town had to be rebuilt. What heritage remains is du (...)
The ramparts as seen from the Blavet river with the basilica looming behind. Dad drove me over to a street in a rebuilt part of town. The area used to (...)
August 30: Upstream from Lorient on the Blavet River lies Hennebont. This is where my Mom was born and raised. I learned to walk here. The anchorage l (...)
I love this shot as it is a road cam shot. I never expected it to turn out. They began building the Basilique Notre-Dame-De-Paradis in 1514. It was fi (...)
Across the Blavet River from Hennebont lies the commune of Inzinzac-Lochrist. This is where Dad's girlfriend, Murielle lives. Did I mention that Murie (...)
