A nice day out to visit the defences of the Pointe de Espagnols opposite Brest today, which I last explored about ten years ago before the site had been restored. It's an impressive site, made eveb more do by the addition of a massive 32cm coastal artillery piece, recovered from a test range and positioned in an original emlacement, albeit on a different gun mounting. It's much more accessible than before and we'll worth a visit if you are in the locale.
Now that's what I call a gun, but I'm a monkey's uncle if it's only a 32mm. 320mm or 32cm perhaps? A splendid photo-tour of a delightful fortification, thanks!
