The Walled city of St. Malo ln Brittany on the Northwest coast of France.
Saint-Malo has one of the highest concentration of sea food restaurants in Europe. It is famous for its local oysters from the nearby village of Cancale. What was a fort in the middle ages, St. Malo is now a popular tourist destination and is known as a desirable place to retire.

It's beautiful coast there, even better if there had enough restaurants. Although I do not like oysters, surely there must be other dishes.
Greetings!
Beautiful. Makes me want to take that walk. We have a St. Malo here, in Colorado, too. I'll have to get a fresh shot now to share, and I'll have to research the history. The Pope stayed there for a day when he visited Colorado back in the 90s.
I love the atmosphere of this scene, great shot.
Oh wow...this is really a great photo, love the atmospher and...well I like everything about it!
Man, every body has been there! I was reading the blog of Barbara, an American expat in France, and she just posted that: http://photodreamin.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/saint-malo/#comment-296
I was in St Malo two years ago too: http://correresmidestino.com/st-malo-a-walled-city/
I grew up not too far, in Nantes.

I think this is really nice..love the way it draws you in -really, the whole image here- enchanting in sepia, just perfect!

You have a time machine and travelled back to the Edwardian era in order to take this photo?

It looks old and cold. A great shot that I like.
A photo to ponder on for a long time. A great depth disappearing into the haze. Fine texture and tint.
YES!!! me like a lot, but i have to say, you live in a beautiful country too.
hugs from Anne in Norway.
Very 1930's effect that has worked well.
This is very atmospheric, Bill. Love the perspective to the stone walkway and the buildings disappearing into the fog. Such a grand choice for sepia.
Your blog improves every time I revisit, my friend.
Wonderful atmosphere Bill. This is a real keeper.
Thank you for showing wonderful scenery.
From the Far East.
Best regards.

This is one of the nicest photos that I've seen in a while. I really like it. I would love to go to Brittany some day.
Wow, what an eerie photograph. I love it.
wow, poster perfect!
This one is like right out of the last century (uhm, before the last,..)!
Very atmospheric. A timeless shot.
Wuhoo ... gone to the wall!!
This is a great photo! It breathes both darkness and secrets and light at the same time. The sepia tone goes very well with the scene
Just perfect!!

what a beautiful place...i'm convinced this is where i should be living!
A gorgeous image. The fact that is in France makes it even more appealing to me. I have a blog friend in Arradon on the Brittany coast. Is this nearby?
