Le château de la Roche-Pichemer (13ème et 16ème siècles).

Legend has it that a lady of Roche-Pichemer, Catherine-without-Pity, was a "mean lady". Among other misdeeds, she is accused of having tied together a man and an ox and, to see which one would survive the other, to let them die of hunger! She has been condemned for centuries to nocturnal races on a chariot of fire during the winter nights ...

Le cadrage est bon et l'exposition est bonne aussi. Le point de vue est certes bien choisi afin de créer un sens de symétrie. Un grand bravo, Christa. Je te souhaite HFF et un bon week-end. Amitiés, Joe

Merci Joe, au début j'avais pris des photos plus près du château, mais elles me semblaient trop "vides". Alors, quand j'ai vu le petit plan d'eau devant, j'ai su ce qu'il me restait à faire....

Beautiful chateau but a rather horrifying tale to go with it.

I agree RHH. But on the other side, these legends make some sites even more interesting....

Merci Nouchet. D'après wikipédia, en Mayenne on dénombre 279 édifices seigneuriaux, dont cinq châteaux-forts.... pas mal pour un seul département, n'est-ce pas ?

Christa1004 club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Thanks Peter, that's an idea, I should ask them if they are interested in.... On the other side, this is not a famous chateau from the Loire Valley, there aren't so much tourists here!

Eine sehr schöne Komposition, Christa! Das ist ja eine gruselige Geschichte. In einer kalten Winternacht würde ich mich da nicht hintrauen ;-)
HFF und ein sonniges Wochenende!

Christa1004 club has replied to trester88 club
Danke Wilhelm, wir sind öfters hin, haben sie aber nie auf ihrer Feuerkutsche gesehen ;-)) Ich liebe diese alten Texte, und da es hier viele Burgen und Schlösser gibt, hat fast jedes Dorf irgendeine interessante, wenn auch nicht immer gruselige Geschichte zu erzählen....

A beautiful castle and well maintained grounds Christa. What a gruesome tale, - I hope there is no truth in it but the legends that surround some of these castles and grand buildings are quite fascinating. You wonder if they are told to frighten people and keep them off their property! A well composed image, - I link the chain across it, - nice effect.
5 years ago.
Christa1004 club has replied to Ecobird club
Thanks Carol. I think legends are stories that have been made up with a background of truth. Perhaps here was really a mean lady and people invented it with the purpose to make the story more interesting or convincing, or to teach a lesson (like knowing right from wrong), or perhaps they really wanted a bad end for this lady!!
