Patrimony

Melle, a small city in the Poitou area, is renowned for its 3 amazing Romanesque churches - called "la Triade Romane". Here are a few pictures from my visit in this beautiful place!

Countryside

A small trip to my hometown - or should I say, my home countryside with its numerous fields and enchanting paths :-)

Albert Kahn

Another very nice discovery this summer: the Albert Kahn garden :-)

This garden consists in fact of a collection of small gardens of different styles, including a Japanese village and garden, an English garden, a French garden, a Vosges forest, and a blue forest (its name originating from the blue-green needles of its Atlas cedars and Colorado spruce trees).

Butterflies

If you go to Vannes, don't miss the tropical butterfly garden (but avoid visiting it during very hot summer days as I did^^), it's absolutely magical! Especially if you too love photographing butterflies :-)
