Montrésor (nº 4)

Il fait froid ce matin : 2ºC selon notre thermomètre. A en croire le site de Météociel.fr, à Romorantin (une ville située à 25 kilomètres de Saint-Aignan, vers l'est) il fait encore plus froid, avec presque -4ºC. On nous parle d'une possibilité de chutes de neige dans la région au cours des prochains jours.

Voici une photo que j'ai prise à Montrésor en février 2005. On y voit l'une des tours du château et, au loin, l'église collégiale, et une vue panoramique sur les rues et les maisons du village. Ce jour-là, j'étais à Montrésor avec une amie américaine qui passait quelques jours chez nous, et qui allait prendre la route vers Rouen, en Normandie, le lendemain. Je me souviens, et mes photos me le confirment, qu'il faisait très froid et que la neige tombait à Saint-Aignan le jour de son départ.

  1. In French today? I was pleased that I can read about 1/3rd of it.

    1. Not sure why I started writing in French. Then I just kept going.

  2. Oops! I hadn't realized that I missed the blog for several days! Thanksgiving busy-ness, you know. I hope your meal was delicious :)

    I am enjoying the Montrésor photos, and wishing that we had had the time to visit there a bit this past summer.

  3. LOL I'm getting old. It's only because Travel mentioned it, that I noticed this post was in French!

    Cooking chicken burgundy with tarragon right now.

    1. That chicken sounds good. I think it has been cold in the DC area too, no? This morning it's not quite as cold here as it was yesterday, and the early morning sky was clear, showing off the heavenly constellations.

    2. So far we've been lucky, it didn't get really cold yet. Mornings are somewhat nippy, but afternoon are just cool.

      That chicken would better if I put some salt in it! But it's OK.

    1. Lucky you! Here it's a dry, crisp cold, with lots of sunshine for the time being.

  6. Great picture of the chateau tour, with the town below. Except for the water tower in the distance, there's not a modern thing in sight.

    We've been having chm weather here: 90 degrees every day. Until today, when it cooled quite a bit.

    1. That water tower is just another kind of château — un château d'eau is what it's called. Hoping you are keeping your cool out there. We are staying warm.

  7. In New Bern it was 34 degrees Fahrenheit one recent morning! 32 degrees in places near us. Early for this, I think.

    1. That's about what it was here yesterday morning. The forecast is still calling for a little bit of snow before the end of the week. I hope we do get some because it can be so pretty to look at, and I don't really need to go anywhere.
