The first picture below is one that I took at Chinon in June 2005. Restoration work was carried out between then and now. The second picture is a crop of a more recent photo I found on this web site. The new rooftops on the part of the fortress called les logis royaux (the royal apartments) are visible.
Here's a link to another, closer photo of the restoration work and a link to a similar photo that I took in 2005 and posted yesterday as part of this series of posts about Chinon (Touraine).
There it is!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Thanks for this post.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It’s a good thing they didn’t wait much longer, the chateau was rapidly deteriorating.

Looks impressive with those new roofs on!
