Merci beaucoup pour ce Serge ! Je suis si heureux que vous aimiez ce tableau et, maintenant que j’ai eu quelques réponses de personnes, je suis résolu à laisser le tableau tel qu’il est et à ne pas essayer de jouer avec ou d’ajouter plus d’ombres ! Un grand merci Serge, et tous mes meilleurs vœux

Well it was a pretty amazing guess, as another follower pointed out, I tend to strip out a lot of detail so there wasn’t a lot to go on – especially as you quite rightly noted that there are so many towers in France! Good luck with trying to identify the other locations from your albums – I’d offer to assist but as you can probably tell, I doubt I’d be much help! Many thanks again and all best wishes

Just a bit of a guess, tbh. I’m busy trying to identify the locations of old pictures taken in Brittany and Normandy in old family albums, but I have not come across this town so far.
Nb, I love the contrast between the stillness of the buildings in the background and the busy market in the painting.

Haha, yes Rob, you’re quite right, I fear that any ambition I have of becoming a topographical artist are going to be severely limited if I don’t change my ways!

Well done that man! Of course, I was taking into account the fact that you remove all the detail from the buildings so the “tower” could have been any kind of tower at all. Now, if you’d included all that detail…..

Thanks so much Rob, it’s not Dieppe, but another reader has hit the nail very precisely on the head with Bricquebec-en-Cotentin! Am thrilled that someone was able to help with this!

Wow, this is amazing!! I’ve just spent some time googling Bricquebec and yes, you’re absolutely right!! Bricquebec-en-Contentin – it was close to where we were staying and just seeing the images on Google took me right back to it! Thanks so much for this, I’m absolutely tickled pink that someone was able to identify this location, thank you so much, it’s made my day!

Thanks so much Teresa, that’s really kind of you and much appreciated!

Hi Mary and thanks so much for this, I’m so pleased that you like this painting and can see the progress of my watercolour journey! What I’m also delighted about is that another ready has managed to identify the town, which is really wonderful!
I think it’s good idea to go back through the albums and photograph them! It’s just so convenient to have them on your phone to be able to trawl through them whenever you feel like it! Thanks so much Mary
