Angles-sur-l'Anglin

Back to last week, on our day-long drive through parts of the southern Touraine, we visited a town called Angles-sur-l'Anglin - actually in the Poitou region. The town and river it's on were supposedly named for the Angles who settled there in the 5th century.

There is a striking ruined medieval castle on the heights above the river, and the town adjacent to it is quite pretty.

Ken and Sue with the castle behind them. It kind of looks like something out of "Lord of the Rings," doesn't it?

A road sign in town.

Sign play in the center of town.

    Impressionnant, le château !

    Pour ce qui est de l'enseigne, attention à ne pas attraper le... muscle Kronenbourg :-) ! Mais, avec le jardinage que vous abattez chaque année, pas de danger :-) ! Avez-vous une expression en anglais du genre de celle que je viens d'indiquer ? Marie qui se rappelle la tisane recommandée par Ken, grrrr, lol !!!
