Sightseeing: the Château de Valençay
The town called Valençay and its château are just six or seven miles south of Selles-sur-Cher and 15 miles east of Saint-Aignan. Valençay castle is almost a theme park. It is best known for three historical figures of the 19th century, Napoleon Bonaparte, Talleyrand, and the famous chef named Carême, one of France's greatest. Valençay is worth a visit on a sunny day. I've been there probably a dozen times over the past 25 years.

Never been to this one, but I’ve taught about it! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that I got a glimpse of Valencay once. I love the photo with the horse and carrige.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the ones I haven't made it to yet. Very different roof line versus the others.
