A Mornning View Of Our Château

Yes. Our château. Ok, not really, but we think of it as ours since it's right next door*. From this perspective you can see both the remnants of the medieval castle (left) and the renaissance wing (right).

Le château de St.-Aignan.

The building at street level with the green storefront is the St.-Aignan tourist office. Again, this photo is taken from the Place du 14 Juillet.

*It's not literally right next door. We're about 3 kilometers from town.

  1. I just checked your weather gage : 17 C (63 F) at 3.15 pm. Spring is here and I am so happy for you.
    Have you changed your clocks yet?

  3. Um, OK... I thought that was your chateau and the place getting the new stairs is the country house.

  4. Is that "right next door", 3km in Loire parlance...?

  5. I just noticed that you posted the poem "Spring has sprung..."

    That is too funny. My grandmother(born 1895)used to recite that to me.
