Details and the big view... Going back through all these photos, I've come to appreciate the beauty of Montrésor more than I ever did before. Actually, four of these photos could have been taken anywhere in Touraine, the Blois area, or the neighboring Berry province. Montrésor has a lot of pretty places to compete with — including Saint-Aignan and Montrichard.

Except for the picture of the cat, I took all these photos in Montrésor on pretty spring days in 2006. The cat encounter on a village street took place in 2012, and the animal's green eyes and green collar on the gray background of its fur mimics the splashes of color — shutters, windows, doors, plants, flowers — on gray backgrounds you frequently see in French villages and towns.
Montrésor is indeed a lovely place and we never tire of it, at any time of year.
ReplyDeleteNice cat.
ReplyDeleteI don't have much to say about this post. Just checking if my comment, written on my tablet, will go through.
The only drawback on this new setting is you can't answer directly to a commenter, you'll have just to do it by name, no big deal.
I love them all ! the cat of course and the shutters, it all looks exactly the way I imagine it should look :)
ReplyDeleteIt is good to take photos to enjoy what we've seen on trips. Montresor is a jewel.
ReplyDeleteOMG I love the picture of the cat. And the last picture of Montresor. I'm surprised more people don't retire there. I wonder what the percentage of vacant homes is.
ReplyDeleteVacant housing units make up about 20% of the housing stock in Montrésor. That would be 50 or 60 places. Who knows if all of them are on the market...
ReplyDeleteHere's a French real estate site I like to look at.
ReplyDeleteThe cat is quite beautiful, the color and those eyes !
ReplyDeleteI want Montresor #37 A coté de Montrésor, logez-vous dans une maison de 94 m² pour un prix très raisonnable: Cuisine aménagée et équipée, salle à manger-salon, chambre WC. A l'étage: grand...
Just the cats and I ... maybe a pup ... perfecto .. :)
