I’m intrigued by the red pattern on no. 3. What is it?
It appears to be a semi-transparent overlay? 😕
2 Perhaps we could say “Lafayette, we are here”!
my number three comment was intended as a recognition of an answer going up…. but very quickly, so very few folk had seen the quiz, so I didn’t want to give answers then 🙂
(well actually I hadn’t yet written all the answers)
Perhaps Christopher can expand his answers a little… or can anyone else add anything?
Pattern no three is an amazing art project…
1) not sure
2) The beach
3) The harbour
4) The rivermouth

1.Dinard has a British Film Festival each October, and to acknowledge this, a statue of the film director- complete with birds- stands on the promenade by the Plage de l’Ecluse.
2.The “American monument”, nicknamed “Sammy” or even “Saint-Nazaire’s statue of Liberty” was inaugurated in 1927, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the arrival of American troops in Saint-Nazaire during World War 1. The German army destroyed the monument in 1941, but due to a Franco-American subscription campaign, it was rebuilt in 1989.
Thanks Ara!
Soutie…. nice try 😉

Hi Val! Summer’s gone now, hasn’t it?
Shall I give the rest of the answers now?
3. Red triangles on roof tops St Nazaire Saint-Nazaire: “Suite of Triangles” (2007) by Swiss artist Felice Varini, On many industrial buildings of Saint-Nazaire docks you can see strange red marks … You have to be top of a panoramic terrace to realize that these red marks form a gigantic fresco showing red triangles above and underneath a horizontal line! It was made for a contemporary art biennial called ‘Estuaire’ which took place in 2007 along river Loire estuary, from Nantes to Saint-Nazaire.
4. Jean-Claude Mayo, French sculptor born on the island of Réunion, used the former embarkation pier of the Loire ferry as a support for his work of art commemorating the abolition of slavery. It consists of several long wooden pieces evoking the hull structure of slave ships, and of three life-size bronze characters representing the stages of the abolition of slavery.
I knew the answers all the time, just didn’t want to be the first to go to print with them…….(she lied) 🙂
