Is that last one Chenanceau in France? (Not sure I spelled it right.)
ReplyDeleteNope, it's Azay-le-Rideau. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe castle in Azay-le-Rideau looks as if it came out from a fairy tale. The reflection on the water made it even more spectacular.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit of the Chenonceau castle but it is not this one.
Gorgeous!!! I would like to explore them.
ReplyDeleteYes, castle of Azay-Le-Rideau, built on stilts over the river Indre. Built under the patronage of François the First and one of the jewels of the French Renaissance. The castle of Chenonceaux is only 50 km afar it and is a pure marvel as well.
ReplyDeleteThe second picture is the castle de La Verrerie, in Oizon, a bit farther east from Chenonceaux, and built during the 15th and 16th centuries by a Scottish Stuart family branch on grounds donated by the king of the time (yes, I did my homework :-)
As a bonus: you'll get to stay in an excellent wine-growing region of my beautiful country.
You are welcome to France!
Slounix & Workman - Thanks to you both!
