Little photo slide show of pictures I made at my visit of the Mont Saint Michel last week.

In late summer at the evening is one of the best times to visit le Mont as the tourists are already gone, the main street is quiet and the light is just beautiful.

Enjoy

This was such a beautiful sunset. I filmed it last year and found it again on my harddisk today.

So I quickly opened a new YouTube account and will upload more videos, soon.

I hope, you like it .

When I find some free time in the schedule I always enjoy driving up to the coast and spend a little while in Saint Malo.

Brittany has a special light which is appreciated  by many painters and also photographers. Some of the greatest Impressionists worked in the region. For picture taking early morning and late afternoon are the best times and I can say that I’m happy with the results of this day.

First, we went down the mole where you have a nice view over to the town of Dinard. On good days you can see the Cap Fréhel clearly.

We then made a little stroll through the inner city and ended up in a nice and oldfashioned tea room, well known for its chocolate specialities. So, I decided for a mouthwatering piece of Nougat de Montelimar. This is a town  in the South of France and famous for its nougat production. A beautiful piece of nougat filled with pistaccios and hazelnuts and covered with dark chocolate. And the real good nougat is not particularly sweet that only the cheap one. I wasn’t disappointed, it was gorgeous!

After that we continued walking towards the Chateau de Saint Malo and ended up at the Sillon beach enjoying the sundown and a magnificent look over the Channel and the Emerald Coast.

Beautiful evening in Saint Malo. Always great to climb the old stone city wall of Saint Malo and watch the sunset over the Channel.
