....castle :)

 

This is a very famous castle build in XVIIth century,near Paris, as the kings of France came to live.

The landlord and architect Fouquet was dismissed by the king, probably out of jealousy

because it's a beautiful castle,a beautiful domain with beautiful forest around.

The designer of the garden Le Nôtre is the same as the famous garden of "Château de Versailles"(Versailles castle)

 

North side, which is the entrance to the castle

picture in "contre jour" (not easy with M9).You can see the detail of the facade of the castle modest and simple !

Lovely.

I hear it's on the market. Will you be moving there?

Thank you Stuart :)

I know Barbara and you love culture and history monuments that trace our origins, something that we forget at this time

It's part , as I have told you , of our education and even me who is not very young, I learn every day

Stuart I do not live far from the castle,only 1 hour road

Regards

Henry

Henry,

 

Great views of this lovely place. When I think of mowing the lawns (couper le gazon...)

Michael, for mowing , the gardener should probably take several days because the lawn is everywhere (I'll post another photo)

Thank you for your comment Michael

Henry,

Really lovely color series that walks us around to enjoy your highlighted views of this beautiful place.

Karl,

This is the castle that is beautiful.

Cameras simply reproduce what we see .... but the color is more real with Kodak Portra

The gardens with water basins remind me a lot the Castle of Versailles

Thank you for your comments Karl
