Rampart Walk
Rampart Walk

I finally made it to the top of the ramparts. I wanted to take a long shot of the rampart walkway. First, an elderly couple took an eternity to descen (...)

Sailing Port

A view of the harbour entrance and the sailing port from atop the ramparts.

Ville Close
Ville Close

The "Ville Close" of Concarneau, as seen from the furthest rampart.

Going Down
Going Down

Archeologists, historians and engineers excavated this part of the town to look at the state of the foundations. Patrice and Dad went down for a look. (...)

Walled Beach
Walled Beach

A very private beach, accessible by boat only - if you don't mind people looking down on you from the ramparts. Of course, at night, it is a different (...)

Tuna Boats
Tuna Boats

We left the walled town and ambled along the sailing port towards the commercial port. There were a number of tuna boats riding anchor.

Mashua Bluu
Mashua Bluu

However, the queen of the port was undoubtedly this modern, luxury catamaran. Access to it was prohibited and roped off. A tourist blatantly ignored t (...)

Long & Sleek
Long & Sleek

It sure was a long and sleek boat. Real purdy, too. Must cost an oil well or two.

She Had A Lovely Rear Deck
She Had A Lovely Rear Deck

This beauty even had an elevator platform for the Zodiac. I can only guess at what amenities were available below decks.

Santa Maria

Other boats were not so glamorous but way more affordable.

Fishing Museum

Tuna Fleet

Fishing, particularly for tuna, has long been the primary economic activity in Concarneau. The Les Mouettes d'Arvor, the long buildings in the backgro (...)

Spot The Flag
Spot The Flag

A last view of the Ville Close. Can you spot our flag flying over the ramparts? I was also very happy that my rent-a-gull flew on cue.

Colorful Hulls
Colorful Hulls

More fishing boats than you can shake a cane at.

Super Slug
Super Slug

On the way back along the cliff path, I almost stepped on this giant slug. It must have been four inches long by half an inch thick. I had never seen (...)

Dock Detail
Dock Detail

I took this shot of the floating docks from across the harbour. Patrice called my Dad to say he was dropping by. We had drinkies while we waited for h (...)

Stuffed Gull
Stuffed Gull

Even the gulls on the Port Louis breakwater were feeling lethargic. Gulls are usually just white blobs on a sunny day. Hard to photograph properly. T (...)

Heron Shore
Heron Shore

This heron was finally used to me being around so it ignored me.

Port Louis @ Low Tide
Port Louis @ Low Tide

Thursday, 9/13/12: It was another clear, bright and sunny day. Dad slept in. I went alone to get the paper. I took the cliff path and took this shot o (...)

Morning Shoppers
Morning Shoppers

Saturday saw the start of another fine, sunny day. Normally, we would be hanging out with Murielle. However, she was in Granny mode and taking care of (...)
