Steve Walsh is a freelance photographer featured in travel publications such as France Magazine. After spending some time in Talmont sur Gironde, he wanted to say thank you in the way he knows best. This is a collection showing one of the most beautiful towns in France, officially. Only 15 km south of Royan on the biggest estuary in Europe, Talmont sur Gironde was granted it's founding charter by Edward I of England in 1284 AD. Talmont sur Gironde, which is almost an island is reknowned for it's hollyhocks, the church of St Radegund, narrow streets, artists and artisans, fishing huts on stilts and traditional boats in the little port. Although only 28 people live in the centre of this town, 400 000 people come to visit each year. What Steve loved at Talmont was the fact he could come out his door and see the sea all around.
