THE EMBARCADERE



"The pier seemed endless..." Jutting out of the coast of Roscoff, this "embarcadere" is the one Casey faces in the first line of the story. Imagine how long it would have looked to Casey's jetlagged mind and body. It is symbolic of the long journey ahead of her, both physically and emotionally. Here it is at sunset, as it was when she first saw it.

OVERVIEW OF THE ISLAND



The Ile de Batz is small. On this aerial view you can distinguish the inhabited, warmer edge of the island (upper right), and the vast, uninhabited "wild side".

THE VILLAGE



The houses come in all shapes and sizes and grow out from Porz Kernoc (the harbor). Casey's house is somewhere in the center of this picture.

CASEY'S UPHILL TREK



When Casey disembarks on that first evening, she faces a long, uphill walk toward the church. The road you see on the right extends from the jetty and continues at a steep incline behind the bushes in the center of this picture.
