Logical decision, Brest is a better place. I guess suppose that the mountain troops are headquartered at Tahiti.

I think that your post is wrong.
You point the "45 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré" and the embassy is "35, rue du Faubourg St Honoré" You can even see Sir John Holmes, the british embassador playing tennis in the garden. (Not sure about that but it could be)

Sorry. I just wanted to say that "Stade Municipal" as title isn't sufficient. Almost every village have a municipal stadium. That's the reason why I suggested "The municipal stadium of Penmarc'h" as Title.

For 2 reasons.
1) This link shows a lot of sunk ships after the Tropical Storm Jeanne in 2004 : http://googleglobetrotting.com/info.php/mid/11079

No. It's obviously a modification of the picture. The global picture does'nt have any black pixel. This image lacks contrast. There is not black pixel nowhere, even in the shadows. These black borders were traced after the snapshot.
