A little grocery in Libourne, France. “Libourne is a commune in the Gironde department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France. It is a sub-prefecture of the department. It is the wine-making capital of northern Gironde....”
Une photo non floutée juste pour faire plaisir à Christophe :)

Saint-Émilion (Bordeaux/ France).
Perigueux. River L' Isle
The Isle (Occitan: Eila) is a 255-kilometre (158 mi) long river in south-western France, right tributary of the Dordogne. Its source is in the north-western Massif Central, near the town Nexon (south of Limoges). It flows south-west through the following départements and towns:
Haute-Vienne: Le Chalard
Dordogne: Périgueux, Mussidan
Gironde: Libourne
It flows into the Dordogne in Libourne. Among the tributaries of the Isle are the Auvézère, the Loue, the Beauronne and the Dronne.
In 1270, Leybornia was founded as a bastide by Roger de Leybourne (of Leybourne, Kent), an English seneschal of Gascony, under the authority of King Edward I of England. It suffered considerably in the struggles of the French and English for the possession of Gironde in the 14th century, and joined France in the 15th century.
In December 1854 John Stuart Mill passed through Libourne, remarking "I stopped at Libourne as I intended & had a walk about it this morning quite the best thing there is the bridge of the Dordogne, the view from which is really fine".[1]
Small but interesting art gallery on 2nd floor of city hall. Beautifull large window lighting the gallery.

Les moulins de Calon auréolés par la Voie lactée 🌌
.
Au sommet d’une butte panoramique non loin de Saint-Émilion, se dressent fièrement 5 moulins datant du XVI ème siècle. Deux des cinq moulins à ailes de Calon ont été rénovés et magnifient les vignobles bordelais. Trois des cinq moulins sont ici visibles sur la photo… Dont les deux plus beaux !
.
Situé à plus de 40km de Bordeaux, ce site est propice à l’astrophotographie. Malgré tout, la pollution lumineuse de la ville de Libourne se voit à gauche du moulin central, sous la forme d’un halo blanc très lumineux qui masque le cœur/bulbe de la Voie lactée…
.
En revanche, on distingue très bien la constellation du Cygne (au sommet de la voûte céleste) avec des nombreuses nébuleuses rouges. Mais aussi, sur la droite de la Voie lactée, la galaxie d’Andromède située toute proche de sa voisine, la galaxie du Triangle. Ou encore, plus bas, les Pléiades et la nébuleuse Californie…. Et j’en passe…🌌
.
Cette photographie panoramique a été réalisée avec un Sigma 28mm f1.4 et un Canon 6d astrodon. Plus de 50 images ont été nécessaires pour former ce grand puzzle… Une image finale à plus d’un demi-milliard de pixels… Autant vous dire que l’ordinateur a bien souffert (et moi aussi 😅).. Voici donc une vue très (très très) compressée et recardée. Ps : pour les puristes, pas de stacking.

J’espère qu’elle vous plaira! Bonne semaine à toutes et tous 💫

French mills haloed by the Milky Way 🌌
.
At the top of a panoramic hillock not far from Saint-Émilion (France), 5 mills dating back to the 16th century stand proudly. Two of the five winged mills have been renovated and magnify the Bordeaux vineyards. Three of the five mills can be seen here... including the two most beautiful!
.
Located more than 40km from Bordeaux, this site is ideal for astrophotography. Nevertheless, the light pollution of the city of Libourne can be seen to the left of the central windmill, in the form of a very bright white halo which masks the heart/bubble of the Milky Way...
.
On the other hand, the Cygnus constellation (at the top of the sky) with numerous red nebulae can be clearly seen. But also, on the right of the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy located very close to its neighbour, the Triangulum galaxy. Or, further down, the Pleiades and the California nebula.... And on and on...🌌
.
This panoramic photograph was taken with a Sigma 28mm f1.4 and a Canon 6d astrodon. More than 50 images were necessary to form this great puzzle... A final image with more than half a billion pixels... You might as well say that the computer suffered a lot (and me too 😅)... So here is a very (very very) compressed and recut view. Ps: for the purists, no stacking
.
I hope you like it! Have a good week 💫
Thanks 611,000 times my friends for your continuous support, your visits and kind comments .
As Philippe, I need a little break in my gallery, take care of you and yours and see you soon... :)

In 1270, Leybornia was founded as a bastide by Roger de Leybourne (of Leybourne, Kent), an English seneschal of Gascony, under the authority of King Edward I of England. It suffered considerably in the struggles of the French and English for the possession of Gironde in the 14th century, and joined France in the 15th century. It is the wine-making capital of northern Gironde and lies near Saint-Émilion and Pomerol.
The town-house {city hall}, containing a small museum and a library, is a quaint relic of the 16th century. It is located by the main square, the Place Abel Surchamp, which hosts every weekend one of the largest fresh food market in the region. There is a statue of Élie, duc Decazes, who was born in the region.
Founded in 1270 by Lieutenant Roger de Leyburn, the bastide (fortified harbor town) of Libourne, located at the confluence of the Dordogne and the Isle, enjoyed a rich history linked to the trade in wool, wine, salt and wood, which has left it with an interesting heritage. It's a nice place to explore, with its stopping place for boats, its docks, its Grand Port tower and its arcaded square, Place Abel Surchamp! The latter, both vast and elegant, is surrounded by ancient façades, among which stands the 15th-century town hall, which was extended in the late 19th century.
At the northern end of Rue des Chais you can see a substantial tower called the Tour du Grand Port. This tower is part of the last remaining gateway that originally allowed access to the town.
