« Avec ses ponts et ses pierres moussues, le vieux Vendôme, petite Venise aux charmes secrets, s'ouvre sur le Loir et sa vallée : paysages de coteaux, de prairies, de peupliers, de lavoirs et de saules, Ronsard y naquit et chanta ses paisibles beautés. »
The woman in red on the bridge makes me think of Angela Merkel.
ReplyDeleteQue d’eau! Que d’eau! Could have said Patrice de Mac-Mahon, the first president of the French Republic while visiting Vendôme!
DeleteI also should have said that the bell tower of the abbey of the Trinity makes me think of the one of the church of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely looking town. I hope you’ll tell us more about it in the coming days.

ReplyDeleteThe canals are lovely. A couple words in that Michelin guide extract sent me running for a dictionary.
