Not too far from where we are staying the imposing castle of Chateaudun stands high over the Loir river. Its four centuries of architecture span Medieval, Gothic and Renaissance building. We particularly liked the long 16th century hall with its two huge fireplaces and ‘resting stag’.
The grounds include a wonderful garden of box tree squares which separate the plants according to their use as food, medicine, and dye and textiles.

I’ve got a great idea! You absolutely MUST make a book out of all this. You’d probably have to self publish. Not cheap but you could instruct all friends and family to put a hold on Christmas and birthday presents and, instead, put the money into a special bank account . The photographs and text are just far too good to leave lying on your computer.
