chateau gardens

These photographs were taken in Vannes, Brittany, in France. I love buildings and architecture and France is a great place to see them.

cobbled streetI’d never been to France before so I was looking forward to visiting the medieval towns and cities.

I’ve read about France, and I’ve seen some programs about the lovely towns and cities, so I couldn’t wait to visit one. And I wasn’t disappointed.

Yes, some of the buildings were leaning that much! It’s a wonder that they were still standing.

view thro’ church door

I couldn’t believe how close the buildings were to the church. The church seemed to spring out of nowhere when you turned the corner of a street. I wonder which they built first!

I’d love to go back and spend a bit more time with my camera, it was a little tricky this time as we had two kids in tow…

giraffe

This is actually the closet I have ever been to a giraffe, and close up they look even bigger.  It was taken at Pont Scorff Zoo in Brittany, France. They’re one of my favorite animals so I really enjoyed being on the viewing platform and getting so close.

I used my usual point and shoot Traveler DC-5080 and I’ve done nothing to the photograph in post production other than resize it for the blog.
