La Roche Bernard:  Le Vieux Quartier by vignouse

La Roche Bernard: Le Vieux Quartier

Le Vieux Quartier - the old quarter - of La Roche Bernard dates from the 15thC and was formerly the area which housed the entrepreneurs and traders who used the inland port for importing and exporting local produce. Today, a large part is still residential and is very appealing with a mix of old buildings and steep little pedestrian streets, as seen here. Apart from the sattelite dish on the chimney of the merchant's house in the centre, this scene probably looks much the same as it did 250 years ago.
How lovely! Makes me want to take a wander down the street.

Very scenic. If you hadn't mentioned the dish, I don't think I would have noticed it.

Glad to know someone is living in that gorgeous stone house there! Almost looks a bit German!

What a great street scene! I would love to live in a place like this!

Beautifully captured country street scene. Very lovely

A stunner - and we both did a vertical orientation "canyon" shot today. Yours is man made, however. FAV
April 18th, 2015  
Like the textures of the brick & stonework. My eyes follow the lane right into the scene :)
April 18th, 2015

Great pov. Love this!

Beautiful Richard - love the POV. Fav
April 18th, 2015  
Beautifully processed. The colours and textures have been treated very sympathetically. I can feel the cool of these foreground walls. Magic. BIG fave, well deserved.



April 18th, 2015  
I think the atmosphere is well reflected in the shot. It seems like a lovely place!
April 18th, 2015  
very inviting; one wishes to walk down that pathway
April 18th, 2015  
Super framed view.
April 18th, 2015  
A very inviting view... the lines of the street really lead the viewer right down the stairway. Wonderful, how the planters are built into the walls! Your processing suits the view nicely... not at all overdone, just complimentary to the scene.
April 19th, 2015  
What a quaint walkway! Very nicely composed Richard! FAV!
April 19th, 2015  
Lovely light on this walkway.
April 19th, 2015  
Beautiful composition but the houses have no shutters!
April 19th, 2015  
Love the comp............looks very inviting would be nice to walk around!
April 20th, 2015  
Don't overlook the down pipe Richard! I quite like the touch of modernity in an olde world scene. This is beautifully composed and lit.
April 20th, 2015  
@yrhenwr Ah - the downpipe - I was hoping no-one would mention that!
