A beautiful view with the reflections ! I've been there long ago when we went with our school to the castles of the Loire ! I think it's time to return and look what has changed. A lot of good memories !

Christel Ehretsmann ^club has replied to Ulrich John ^club

I don't think so many things have changed;..we are, those who pass away...That's why we find it so interesting to look at those ("with a story") castles ......
so you were a French teacher ?from Germany ?
I did the same in England...with my pupils...(as an English teacher)...from France

Ulrich John ^club has replied to Christel Ehretsmann ^club

No, I haven't been there as a teacher. In Germany it was common to visit a foreign country in your last year before you leave school. So we decided to make a roundtrip in France. Some days we stayed there in a family, after we went the Loire and the last days we spent in Paris. It was a great experience for us !

Where Italy came to France with her gardener! The rest is history ... One of my favourite chateaux!

Yes, I read and I saw that...what is extraordinary is that they have a place where they grow all the flowers they'll need ...they change their bunch flower arrangements in every room quite often...
a wonderful "woman" castle indeed...

Christel Ehretsmann ^club has replied to Alain Priou

je ne les connaissais que par les livres...et j'ai choisi cette visite, ce château, pour son "naturel"tant intérieur qu'extérieur...
De plus, ce château dit "de femmes" m'intriguait...
