  3. Hello Caro TD! I like all 3 of your photos but the one from Auvergne has special meaning for me because I was there last year for a cousin's wedding. That part of France is full of old churches. Everywhere you look, you see one! We were also in Bretagne to visit a sick relative (he has since died) and liked the local Breton architecture. We were wandering around picturesque Dinan when a local reporter stopped us to ask us a few questions on that town. I was jet-lagged and didn't feel like participating but my uncle encouraged me to answer her questions so I did. Two days later, my uncle's mother-in-law in Saint-Malo showed us their local newspaper with, yikes, our photo in it and my inane comments about "American tourists such as ourselves" . Have a nice weekend!

  5. Caro TD :
    Du gothique flamboyant,à l'Art Nouveau Gaudiesque et enfin l'Art Roman "gonflé" de cette abside certainement rajoutée plus tard,dans un style indéfnissable, font de tes photos des pièces uniques ! Tu es une sacrée photographe !
    Au figuré et propre.

  6. Hello Be Diêp,

    Yes, there are so many magnificent cathedrals, churches in France, Italy,...
    Did you climb up to Mt St Michel ? it is a splendid jewel of gothic architecture between heaven and sea although the place is very crowded all year long.
    When you visit France for a few times, I bet that your French will be back eloquently in no time We are from MC no?
    Porte toi bien,
    TD Caro

  7. Dear Caro TD:
    Love all 3 of your photos, I just adore Gaudi art of its modernist style & I always think that he was somewhat the “transformer”
    of architectonic design & modernist - even of our time…
    Spectacular! Thank you Caro TD,
