walk through st. servan and st. malo

I saw rowers all day on the still sea at the mouth of the River Rance

One of the German bunkers used during occupation in World War II
Damage close-up
French coast where River Rance meets the bottom of the English Channel
St. Servan

Le Tour Solidor




The mysterious woman of the tower --
I have named her La Belle Serveuse de St. Servan





Year 1646 -- over the residential door



The sign said Bibliotheque (library) though I have seen it called the City Hall elsewhere



Bay at St. Servan -- early morning low tide



Cross is replica of that raised by St. Malo-born Jacques Cartier
on landing in Canada in 1534

 
A shock -- 'stop signs'
in English
-- apparently a EU standard
 
My first 'squat' toilet




Inside the Walled City of St. Malo

The beach at St. Malo


Le Fort National



Along the outer wall of the Walled City which was destroyed by Allied Forces
in World War II and rebuilt
