I think I'd love to play chess with giant pieces! Yesterday I taught a 10 year old girl how to play chess. It is best to teach them when they are young because they are very quick to learn the pieces and the moves. I adore chess but I have to say that I'm probably a fairly "average" player. Great photos, Marie.

C'est une photo si gentille de votre ville. Les arbres de plantanus ont relâché toutes leurs feuilles, et c'est maintenant vraiment l'automne. J'espère que le soleil brille bien, sur vous, et tout le monde à Montpellier.

I'm glad to say we have many female players, too.
Cela ressemble au minigolf de Cabourg.

I used to love to play chess, but I haven't played it (or any other game) in years. This looks like fun! Nice pix!
