Easter Monday bench with view - HBM

On the cliffs, at the entrance to the port, the Vauban Tower is a listed monument and was built in 1694 to keep an eye on the corsairs and prevent English invasions. A second similar tower was built on top of it, but this one was destroyed during World War II.

BANC DU LUNDI DE PAQUES AVEC VUE. Sur la falaise, à l'entrée du port fut bâtie en 1694 la Tour Vauban, classée monumnet historique, pour surveiller les corsaires et prévenir les invasions anglaises. Une deuxième tour similaire la surplombait, en haut de la falaise, mais celle-ci fut détruite pendant la 2nde Guerre mondiale.

OSTERMONTAGBANK MIT AUSBLICK. Auf den Klippen am Eingang des Hafens wurde 1694 der unter Denkmalschutz stehende Vauban-Turm errichtet, um Korsaren zu überwachen und englische Invasionen zu verhindern. Ein zweiter, ähnlicher Turm überragte ihn auf der Spitze der Klippen, aber er wurde im 2. Weltkrieg zerstört.

The tower is an attractive old building and what was once used as a lookout tower is now, quite rightfully, somewhere to be looked at and enjoyed in it's own right.. Beautiful views from up there Christa and a superb series of images

HBM and have a lovely new week

Thanks, Carol, there is actually a great view: at left you see the little town, straight ahead the harbour and to the right the sea. And I had to wait a little while to have the bench without any persons, the place is very in demand;-)

Thanks, Wierd, one of these old watchtowers, which had been built in the 17th century at the French coasts.

A beautiful series Christa. I wouldn't mind sitting there with a view like that! I wonder if they would still be keeping an eye on me from the tower! ;-))
HBM and wish you a good new week.

Christa1004 ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

Thanks Rosalyn. I think they would be indulgent!!! There were many British visitors, the Caen harbour with the ferries from and to England is close - and there, they don't need watchtowers;-))) Have a good rest of the week.

Und dann kam die Invasion doch im 2. Weltkrieg, allerdings zur Befreiung.
Ich kenne den Vauban-Turm von Camaret-sur-Mer, der zusammen mit anderen Werken Vaubans zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe zählt.
Schöne Aufnahmen, Christa! HBM und einen guten Start in die Woche!

Christa1004 ^club has replied to trester88 ^club

Danke Wilhelm, ja, der Vauban-Turm In Carmaret "spielt" in einem anderen Register : es ist wirklich ein imposantes Bauwerk auf seiner Insel, mit seinen ganzen Schiess-Scharten. Dagegen wirkt dieser hier wie ein "kleiner Bruder" ;-)) Wünsche dir eine schöne Woche.

Hi Christa
I like this picture very much!
The bench looks really odd, and hence interesting!
Fantastic colours too
Best Wishes, HBM and stay safe!!

Thanks Peter, I understand what you mean: the bench looks a bit distorted because I photographed with wide-angle lens...
