St Malo

Yesterday we visited the historic, impressive Brittany town of St Malo. It's a tourist trap nowadays, what Matt would call a target-rich environment for photographers.
This is what I took, using the Lumix compact. Easier to carry than the Nikon, but frustrating in the lack of control, especially over focus. In bright sunlight you need a viewfinder!

We walked, had lunch and visited the amazing bar La Java in the Rue Saint Barbe.

Impressive walls.

La Porte Sain Vincent.


Nice street furniture.


Almost every building a restaurant or bar.



Some interesting looking bars...

And beaches.

More romantic than useful?
The fish hall is modern, but uses almost medieval carpentry.

The quality of the woodwork is exceptional, and the fish are charming.

A surprising place...


Careful with that syringe, Matron...

And other faces

Edited in Snapseed for Instagram, an old pub.
Snapseed again - almost every building has its saints.

And another pretty face.
