It's raining this morning. And Bert is up to his old tricks. I think the mouse he brought in has so far avoided capture. I'm at the point where the photos here become basically random. Domfront again. Green landscapes. Some old stones. A modern church. Just pretend you're walking around the old town and seeing the sights.
It looks like it wasn't very sunny and rather overcast when you were there, so Domfront has a somewhat dark appearance. The brownish stone accentuates that impression. From what I have seen through your excellent photos, Domfront is a nice town.
ReplyDeleteAs i said before, if it were not for its faux Italian facade, which, in my opinion, is really ugly, the Saint-Julien church has an interesting shape and interior. I like the concrete tower.
The stone is granite, I believe. It doesn't look that dark to me, but it is not Loire Valley tuffeau. Saint-Malo and Granville are built in granite too, I think.
DeleteThese past several days of photos have felt like a new visit to Domfront. I like the photo of the crumbling wall looking out to the green valley very much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling me. I like that photo too. After looking at these photos again, 15 years later, I really hope to be able to come to Domfront and Lonlay again one day.
DeleteLooks wonderful there
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoyable to stroll around a place, thanks to your photos :)
ReplyDeleteIn the next to last photo, the mouth is missing!
ReplyDeleteLOL cam! I love your comments.
DeleteThank you, Evelyn.
DeleteHave to type in caps to make sure your name is right- CHM!
DeleteDon't worry, Evelyn, that's OK!
DeleteThanks for giving us Domfront- it's so lovely. I see you there again!
ReplyDeleteSecond photo, the sloping street, looks like a lovely place to be!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this walk through this lovely town. Random photos are fine by me.
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice stroll! Merci, Ken!
ReplyDeleteI liked that peak through the crumbling stone wall to the verdant hills in the distance, too!
Thanks for the very pleasant wander. Did the dovecote have any doves resident?
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely pictures. Some parts of Normandy make me think of the upper Hudson Valley, all those lush green, rolling hills.
ReplyDeleteI like the way old French streets have a gutter down the middle, for rainwater I imagine. Although perhaps in earlier times it was to help get rid of something we'd rather not now consider.
