Brilliant find 
I must write a note to remind me to find my camera battery charger so I can carry it with me again - I had to have a clear up when my Daughter and grand-daughter moved in and commandeered my photography 'studio' and I can't find anything now.

Ongoing construction projects in la France profonde, always interesting in my opinion, picture please (OH: Robert, not again....). An almost total roof restoration, how to transport the enormous amount of old ardoises and chevrons?

The Spanish Armada just arrived. Madrid reclaiming territory that once belonged to King Philip II. Burgundy next?

@RobertArthur I could see one was the Andalucia - was the other the Nao Victoria ?
Both visited Saint Malo this summer as they do most years. We did a tour of the Andalucia a couple of years ago and last summer, our sea shanty group were invited to sing on board the Nao Victoria followed by a very nice apéro !

@ Blaze, the little one, the Não Victoria, is a replica (1992) of an original early 16th-century "carrack", called a "não" in Spanish. Not the Santa Maria di Colombo.
The other ship, "El Galeón", is a replica (2009) of a 16th-century Spanish galleon and is considered the successor to the não. Galleons are typical of the period of Spanish colonisation of the Canary Islands, America and the Philippines.
The ship of just over 50 metres in length sailed with goods via the Cape of Good Hope to Asia and back. Such ships also sailed between Spain and the Americas and became famous for the cargoes of gold and silver they carried from South and Central America to Spain.
And together with other ships on the jetty of The Maritime Museum. Including a replica of the East Indiaman "Amsterdam", which sank in a storm off the southern English coast in 1749 on its maiden voyage to Batavia, now Jakarta in Indonesia.
