Mennetou-sur-Cher III

Okay, so maybe that's enough about Mennetou. Here are ten more pictures. Some were taken in December 2004 and others in May 2006. Remember that you can click the mouse on the pictures to enlarge them, and then click your browser's Back arrow to return to the main blog page.

Green moss grows on the town's rooftops.

Pigeons sit on the roof of the church.

Not sure exacttly what kind of building this is...

...but this is a close-up of the Gothic-arched windows.

This is the famous Canal du Berry, not longer used for
barge traffic but as a place to canoe and fish.

An old door and a seemingly new window.

This is the Porte d'En-Haut — the Upper Gate — seen from outside
town. I don't know if trains even stop at Mennetou these days.

A view of the Port d'En-Haut taken from inside the village walls.
The Lower Gate, or Porte d'En-Bas, is the one in the earlier posting
with the plaque commemorating Joan of Arc's visit in 1429.

Old walls and houses in Mennetou-sur-Cher,
between Vierzon and Saint-Aignan.

And here is the exit. It's one of three exits from the
old village that are left over from the Middle Ages.
