Following this curious habit we have established, I will show you some pictures tourist trip I've made this summer by the Atlantic side of France.
I think the pictures speak for themselves in this great country. However, elaborate on some.
Begin this visual journey Poitiers. The church of Notre Dame la Grande I liked and did not know. A magnificent example of Romanesque architecture had to influence the further development of that style along the Camino de Santiago, entering Spain. Best polychrome interiors.
This is a view of the island of Ré, off the port of La Rochelle. Crops are seen in seafood square cages forming such odd geometries near shore.
The Royale Park Corderie. A spectacular landscape architect Bernard Lassus. What I found most relevant is the great restraint with which they have placed the tree masses placing value on historic buildings.
It's great the spell that provide impressive trees, so different from those we usually observe those who live near the tropics.
This is the charming port of Locmariaquer, near Vannes in Brittany. A surprising territory when the sun lights, wears a colorful wonder. He eats great with a wide range of things from sea.
The fortified port city of Saint Malo view Dinars. An incredible space on the Atlantic coast of Brittany, against England and the Channel Islands.
This street as preserved medieval cáracter is on the island of Mount Saint Michel. One of the most visited sites of France. It has great appeal how the landscape is inserted into this small monastery next to a sandy coast extensísima.
Here began the career of André le Notre, of which I have written elsewhere: The chateau of Vaux le Vicomte. It is worth visiting from Paris. It is a half hour trip around Melum, a charming seaside town. Fantastic, the designs and beautifully maintained broderies.
Versailles and the grandeur of France in all its glory. It could not last, and only three generations of Luises enjoyed even at the expense of the misery of a nation.
In this I can see Axis Mundi centered so magnificent that space is the park of Versailles. We recommend a whole day and go quietly spaces savoring the tour. Sensational Park the Domaines de Marie Antoinette.
The pond of the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. I always liked the effect produced trees trimmed alignments that offer something similar to plant flood outlook. It's enviable quality of life and urban settings they enjoy in France.
The center of Paris. The Place de la Concorde seen from the Tuileries. It's amazing the effect of concentration and expansion of space offered by Richard Serra sculpture that have been placed on the axis of symmetry.
I have really enjoyed the pictures and what accounts for France. The coastal photographs suggest tranquility and grandeur others. France is the European country unless I wanted to visit, but now I think I'll stop by when you have opportunity. Patricia
Glad to see that are encouraging hang their summer experiences in the blog. Feeling a space created by Richard Serra sculptures should be spectacular. Fantastic photos Federico
