The photo essay here is mostly of them discovering the beautiful “Petite Cité de Caractère”, Roche-Bernard.
I first met Joel and M T when for asked by Yachting Monthly to take photographs at the huge Brest 92 Traditional Boat Festival [over 2000 ships and boats, 250,000 visitors per day].
The deal was 10 days food and accommodation, a chance for them to improve their English and me my French, in exchange for a painting.
Subsequently they bought several more of my paintings including the beautiful “La Recouverance“, a superb replica privateer [licenced pirate some say!] built and based at Brest.
