Saint-Vincent Gate in Vannes, Brittany, France? Of course, just checked it out. It faces the port and leads into the city. I don’t think I have ever looked at it as its usually so crowded with people and cars everywhere we tend to just push through. Though mainly we go to the port to catch the ferr...

I hurriedly wrote a quick report in French on our 4 weeks away ready for my french conversation class at Haslingden this morning. I know you do this as as a useful hobby rather than a chore, but it occurred to me that A.I. might now do this job. I've just tried Quillbot using one of Stanley's long ...
