A blurry picture of the fountains in Square Gambetta. I've got to work on my photography skills. I blame the low light.
The laundromat where we did your laundry. Pretty exciting huh?
The Old City, as viewed from the bridge. The place is supposed to like a fairytale castle. The blue caps on the towers are not right, they should be red, like all of the other roofs in the area. But when they restored the place, the architect decided to go with blue. They are going to replace them.
This picture was taken just outside of the main entrance. The low area used to be a moat. did you know that more people were killed because of diseases spread by stagnant moat water than by invaders? Remember to aerate your moat regularly!
Dave stands by one of the towers. As you can see, they are pretty big close up.
Dave peruses the menu at a fancy restaurant in the Old City. It was actually much darker out than it looks. I had the exposure time set very long. That allowed me to take the picuture, but it came out blurry.
The Basillque St. Nazaire, the chuch inside the Old City.
The main square in the center of the Old City. It was filled with tables and people were drinking, eating crepese and ice cream, and listening to a Big Band. We were very tired, but Dave likes Big Band music, so we decided to stay a while and order a drink. The band stopped for the evening about 30 seconds ater we sat down. But that was ok.
They called this a 'iceberg' sundae. I was kind of hoping that it tasted like iceberg lettuce, but it was just mint flavored.
A creperie in the Old City.
This is the space between the two defensive walls of the City. After the invaders got past the first wall, they would have to walk across this open field where they would get pelted with arrows before they could climb the second wall. Not a fun day for them.
