A window and a door in Palluau-sur-Indre
Palluau is one of just a few "perched villages" in the area around Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher. It's also one of my favorite places. In summer it feels méridional ("southern") and in winter it feels abandoned.
Palluau
The massive towers of the old château rise up over the village at the top of a steep hill above the Indre River.
I love your description: "In summer it feels méridional ("southern") and in winter it feels abandoned." Poetry!
ReplyDeleteDon't you wonder what is behind that door and that window?
ReplyDeleteCurious to know the pronunciation
ReplyDeleteof this name. Is the first "u"
silent?
Been thinking about your mother
and sister in the path of Irene.
Hope they'll be okay. We in Texas
would be happy to take some of
that rain off their hands.
Ken, I am here in Wilmington, NC and am thinking of, and feel sympathy for, your family further up the coast.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I am also worried for us here.
ReplyDeleteThere doesn't seem to be much maintenance there.
ReplyDeleteA good eye for interesting photo ops!
ReplyDeleteThanks for including us in the sights and sites.
I am also concerned for your family during the brush or slap from Irene.

I have nothing new to add!
ReplyDeleteKen, I hope your family is OK on the East coast.
ReplyDeleteSheila, sorry to be so late. The first u is pronounced as a syllable or glide, and the -au at the end is [OH]. [pah-lu-OH]
