Brittany, eh? I was looking around Normandy.
|
It's in Brittany all right.
Camerat-sur-Mer. It's Notre Dame de Rocamadour and Tour Vauban |
Good one, Glatt

Again with Google Image search + GM's hint of "church" and "sailor"
I found another image I think is the same church in St. They, Brittany, France. . |
Ooooopps... didn't see Glatt's post before I hit SUBMIT

That's right: Camaret sur Mer.
For those who are curious about the truncated form of the bell tower, it's due to the sea. The church and the Vauban Tower are built on a small island that was linked the continent by a small ridge. This was used to build the sea wall protecting the harbour. At high tide, the church is less than 15 meters from the sea. The sea side of the wall has an added protection to break the waves: a mountain of round stone pebbles. Quite big pebbles: they weight around 40 pounds. Usually it is enough. But sometimes the waves are powerful enough to propel those stones like cannonballs and strike the tower bell or come throught the roof of the church. On occasion, when sea, tide and wind are in the hurricane range, those stones can reach the marina and sink boats more than 40 meters away. |

I was there once during a winter storm and I can tell you that you feel very small in front of such nature force.

I also know the chapel shown by Lamplighter. The St They chapel is on the Pointe du Van. The place is less known and visited than the Pointe du Raz that is south of it just across the Baie des Trépassés.

Freiburg, Germany. The Martinstor gate tower.
Edit : too late... |
I searched on "McDonalds Bavaria" and it was here. Amazing number of beautiful girls in that search, odd.
