Cheverny frappe d'emblée par ses proportions harmonieuses, fondées sur un jeu de symétries, [et par] son intérieur : lambris peints, plafonds à caissons, tapisseries d'une sublime fraîcheur et tableaux de maîtres, le tout somptueusement meublé, dans un état de conservation parfaite.

Oh, I love that door knocker! It would be nice to live for several months in the Val de Loire, and go see all of these interesting châteaux, spread out over time. I think I show some other pretty interior photos of yours, from Cheverny, to my students, when I'm introducing the châteaux. It's really pretty inside.

ReplyDeleteIl n'y a pas de quoi me remercier, Mary.
