Here's another photo of the Renaissance-era Château de Saint-Aignan. The town is 40 kilometers south of the old royal city of Blois, and 60 kilometers east of the bigger city of Tours. Many of the Loire Valley châteaux, including Amboise, Chenonceau, Chambord, Blois, Cheverny, and Chaumont-sur-Loire, are an easy drive from Saint-Aignan.
That beautiful iron gate is still useful.
ReplyDeleteI imagine it's locked at night, but I don't know. There's another way to get up to the chateau terrace and I don't think it's ever locked.
