Drinking Wine at Sancerre, visiting Turenne and Collonges-la-Rouge (July 2019)

After a conference in Paris, Arnulf Kost, Fahd Sultanem and I, we drove to Toulouse for visiting some friends. In our way we visit some nice small cities: Sancerre, Turenne, Collonges-la-Rouge and others. In this folder there are some photos of these beautiful villages. Sancerre is famous by its white wine, which is, indeed, very good. It is located at the Cher department and near Bourges. The wine production is quite limited since the plantation area is small and it is well requested nowadays. It was Arnulf's idea to visit it and, of course, get some wine. Next day, we drove to Turenne, a very small Middle-Age village located at the Corrèze department. It reminds me the Mont Saint-Michel, since there is a fortress on the top of the hill. The pictures are in BW, which fits well - in my opinion - with the athmosphere of Turenne. Finally, we went to Collonges-la-Rouge, very close to Turenne. This little and cute village, located at the Limousin department, is called 'la-Rouge' since the its houses and buildings are constructed with the red stone of the area.
In this trip I used a Fujifilm X-T2 with the zooms XC 16-50mm and 50-230mm. I also used the 27mm/F2.8 for low light pictures.

Após uma conferência em Paris, eu, Arnulf Kost e Fahd Sultanem fomos a Toulouse para visitar alguns amigos. No caminho, passamos por pequenas e belas cidades: Sancerre, Turenne, Collonges-la-Rouge e outras. Nesta pasta apresentamos fotografias destes belos vilarejos. Sancerre é conhecida pelo seu famoso vinho branco que é, de fato, muito bom. Está localizada no departamento do Cher e perto de Bourges. A produção de vinho é limitada pois a área de plantio é pequena e o vinho é atualmente muito requisitado. Foi uma ideia do Arnulf que aprecia esse vinho e desejava se afogar no mesmo. No próximo dia fomos para Turenne, uma bela cidade medieval localizada no departamento Corrèze. Me lembrou o Mont Saint Michel pela sua fortaleza no alto da colina. Essas fotos são em PB o que, na minha opinião, combina bem com o jeito da cidade. Finalmente, nos dirigimos à Collonges-la-Rouge, bem próxima à Turenne. Essa pequena e charmosa vila do departamento do Limousin, é chamada 'la-Rouge', pois suas casas e construções são feitas por uma pedra vermelha da região.
Para essas fotos, utilizei uma Fujifilm X-T2 com suas lentes XC 16-50mm e 50-230mm; também usei uma 27mm, F2.8 para situações de baixa luz.
