Roscoff by sunset

We went to Roscoff in Brittany, France during the summer holidays and this is my watercolour painting of Roscoff based on a picture that I took whilst we were there.

Le Tour de Eiffel

This is The Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Eiffel Tower stands and 324m tall, which is about the same height as an 81 storey building and it was erected in 1889. It was the tallest structure in the world from 1889 to 1930.  More than 200,000,000 people have visited the Eiffel Tower since it was built. And it is the most visited paid building in the world.

It overlooks the courts which are used currently during Roland Garros (the French Open) at the moment I am watching Gael Monfils vs Ernests Gulbis. It is supposedly "Kids day"  or as the French would call it "Journee des enfants" at the French open as French children have Wednesdays off of school. However currently Gael Monfils and Ernests Gulbis (Latvian) are putting up quite a fight against each other, so at the moments it is all looking pretty equal!


We are also going to France in the summer holiday, although not to Paris but to Roscoff which is in the North of Brittany on the coast. We are travelling using Brittany Ferries

St Malo,France

Hello again! This time this is from inside the intra muros so I hope you like it!!

St Malo is on the Brittany coast next to the ferry port- you can get a ferry from Portsmouth to St Malo in 10 hours on Brittany Ferries, that's what we did summer 2012, which was REALLY good! No delays. We went on the overnight sailing on the way out to St Malo then the daytime sailing on the way back.

St Malo - France

Intramuros- Basically the walled city. We went there for our summer holiday this year via Brittany Ferries. The only bad point about it was that I really want to go again!
