...à Chambord. There are many huge tapestries hanging on walls inside the château de Chambord. I was there last weekend and have enjoyed processing my photos over the past week.
The first image is a detail of a large tapestry, and the other two show
full views. As usual, you can enlarge the images to see more details.
If you want to know more about the tapestries at Chambord and in other châteaux, here's a link. The site is bilingual.
Our friends Peter and Jill left yesterday for a couple of weeks in England, after four nights at our house. The heat wave broke on Friday. With all the activity — conversation, shopping, cooking, eating out on the terrace, driving around to supermarkets and outdoor markets — along with the intense heat for three or four days, we are pretty exhausted. And still getting over losing Callie last Monday.
These tapestries are really beautiful. Thank you for the link; it seems well worth my time to delve into it for detailed information.

DeleteThanks for posting these. I didn't spend enough time looking at them while we were at the château. Glad to hear that temperatures have calmed down a bit there.
ReplyDeleteIt's cooler. We are exhausted, as I said. Tasha is keeping us busy, sometimes by being aggravating and other times by being entertaining and affectionate. We'll have a chance to rest up a little this week.
DeleteSuch opulent tapestries- those long ago kings had a grand life. I love seeing the horses.
ReplyDeleteSort of like today's super-rich, I guess. Then comes the revolution
DeleteVisitors are fun to have but it is so nice when you are alone again ..
ReplyDeleteThat missing shows how much love you had for her and it will take about a year, or so I have learned ... then you will miss her but it won't be such a sharp pain ..
« Enfin seuls » is what they say in French.
DeleteEn ce qui concerne Callie, elle sera pour toujours irremplaçable.
DeleteI love Chambord, but I am sad that Callie isn't here to greet me as usual in your blogg after my vacation from bloggland. Only time will ease your loss and I wish you good memories and fast clocks.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
