About this gallery

This place gallery follows the coast between Normandy and Brittany, from Granville and the Chausey Islands to Mont-Saint-Michel and Saint-Malo. At Granville and along the coast at Saint-Planchers, lighthouses watch over the rocks, one wrapped in mist, the other under a clouded sky. On the Chausey Islands, a pyramidal stone landmark rises out of the vegetation, and a fisherman's house clings to the rocky shore.

Mont-Saint-Michel is shown from inside its abbey: Gothic arches and stained glass, in a light that draws out the height of the vaulting. At Saint-Malo, the ramparts and harbor stand out against the sea under a blue sky crossed with clouds, and light filters through the stained-glass windows of the Saint-Vincent church. Nearby, the hill of Mont-Dol rises above the marshes that border the bay.

Further along the Normandy coast, waves break against a rock formation, and a boat glides close to the shore; a portrait taken outdoors, with flowers and backlight, rounds off the gallery.
