Saint-Malo Ramparts
$22.00
A walled granite city at the mouth of the Rance, on the north coast of Brittany. The full circuit of the ramparts runs about a mile along the top of the city walls, and the loop carries you above the water for most of its length. At low tide the offshore islands become walkable; at high tide the Channel rises to the foot of the wall. Most of the city behind the walls was destroyed in August of 1944 and rebuilt almost stone for stone over the next decade. The walls themselves came through.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
