After a few pictures about bad weather in the northern Brittany, a sunny picture from vannes in southern Brittany. Early in the morning in May 2007.
Vannes' battlements, witness to 1,500 years of history, are a major feature in the townscape.
At the end of the 3rd century, when the Roman Empire was crumbling, Vannes, which was then called Darioritum, was permitted to reinforce its defences. A castrum (fortified site) was build to the west of the Gallo-Roman town on the nearby Mené hill. The triangular plan of the defence walls protected an area of about 5 hectares.
During the Early Middle Ages the castrum became the heart of the medieval town. Restored during the 13th century, Jean IV, Duke of Brittany extended the walls between 1370 and 1390, doubling the area of the walled town. The Hermine castle (now gone) was built on the south-west side of the new battlements, near the site of the Calmont gate.
Machicoulis, gun loops and towers were added to the defence system during the 15th century.
At the end of the 16th century the medieval battlements were reinforced with bastions to meet the requirements of modern artillery. The last defence structure to be built in Vannes was the Garenne fortification, erected between 1626 and 1628 by the architect Augereau.

Bonjour JM,
This is a very attractive image of the old castle, but it's a shame that it is so small. I would presume that you stitches numerous photos to achieve the wide panaramic view. Composition is good though with the green grass and flowers providing nice colour in the photo. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Salut Jean-Michel,
Un choix panoramique bien approprié pour présenter ces remparts, de belles couleurs entre maisons, pierres et verdures du jardin en 1er plan. Le ciel bleu donne un bel arrière plan pour mettre toutes ces autres couleurs en valeur.
Beau boulot, y compris pour la note :-)
Bon WE.
Amicalement,

JM,
This is a great shot of this fortified town. Your composition is nice showing us a great panoramic view. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and DOF. The paths in the foreground creates nice lines and angles. The deep blue sky provides a nice backdrop for the shot.
TFS,
Asa

Salut Jean Michel
Joli travail de stitch et de belles couleurs sur ce jardin que j'ai souvent à l'époque où j'habitais Vannes.
Tu as trouver un bon pov pour sortir des clichés habituels des cartes postales tout en rendant bien la beauté du site.
Beau travail (et quelle note ;o))!!
