Several more views of Chaumont

One of the best places for views of the Château de Chaumont is from across the river — in other words, from the right bank of the Loire. The château is built on a high bluff on the left bank.




Above left is a view of the river and the modern bridge that spans it. I took it from the grounds of the château. On the right is a shot of the château with its drawbridge either half way up or half way down. I can't remember which. It was the only time I ever saw it in that position.

  1. Maybe it's half way down, lol. Who knows? It's starting to feel like fall here, with highs only in the 80's. So happy that you've got both eyes corrected now.

  2. I have to wonder what this was all like when Diane de Poitiers was sent there to live.

What's on your mind? Qu'avez-vous à me dire ?
