château

yesterday i went on a trip to a château. there was a long car ride, and then finally i got to a fair-sized town. i got out of the car, and this is what i saw first:

here’s a close up of the door (hehe, i love french doors):

then across the street i saw this:

and then i looked around, and saw this:

then i wandered around the streets for a bit:

(absolutely fantastic view)

found the old place where they washed laundry (and anything else they happened to have around):

here are some close ups:

here’s a close up of the date over the archway:

(in case you couldn’t see, it says “R F 1903) (at least, that’s what i see.)

then i got to the gift shop you go through to get to the château. here’s what the ruins look like from the sky:

here’s what it looked like when i first saw it:

then i went inside (not the best picture, my finger was partly on the lens and some people are in the way, but it’s the only one i took of the front):

here’s to the left side (argh! it’s that finger again!):

here are some more photos of the inside:

(above is the door to the museum in the château. unfortunately i didn’t get many pictures of the inside. there is another little museum in the château, and maybe you’ll see the other door.)

here’s a close up of the window:

i will post the rest of the pictures from the château (and my exploring the town) later.
