How big is this little village. It looks so quaint and relaxing and amazing… How cool!! The fireworks remind me of Victoria a lot and how we can see that stuff here on the West Coast, Great pics!

Bastille day celebrations seems to be really stunning from these pics of fireworks. Really nice place to visit.

you take such awesome photographs, zhu!
and yummm, are those butter cookies that are made in pornic? to me, that is enough. i could stay there forever. butter cookies and strawberries and red wine.
a summer in your family house sounds wonderful. nothing to do. nowhere to go. time lengthens into almost forever. i haven’t had a summer like that since university. i’d give up tv and the computer for a summer with books and beaches and nothing else to do, yes.

Sounds like a nice play to visit for a short time. Its strange how some places never change but finding your same magazines is a hoot.

It looks like great fireworks.

@Cynthia — My grand-parents generation was overall lucky, at the time buying houses or building them was much easier, and real estate was cheaper too.

@khengsiong — tell me about it! In France, there is a roundabout every like ten meters it seems.

@Linguist-in-Waiting — It’s weird to visit places that don’t change much over the year, like this small village. Even Nantes, my hometown changes a little bit…

I like that feeling of visiting some place that was significant from the past. Even my parents place in the Philippines was quite nostalgic even though it’s only been 3 years since I last was there. I actually wonder how it would feel like to visit Japan again, as I haven’t been there since 2000, and I would like to see what changes have occurred in the places that I used to frequent when I was still a teen.

Even small town has a castle…

Malaysians also love roundabouts, but today they are a source of traffic gridlock.
