Sully encore

I think I've been to Sully-sur-Loire only two times. Once was with CHM in 2006. We had seen two or three other châteaux and a couple of churches earlier that day. The photo below with pink flowers in a pot is one I took in 2006, and the last photo in yesterday's post is one I took that day in 2006 too.

Most of these photos of Sully are ones I took in late May 2015. I was on my way to Paris to get CHM and and go off on an adventure in the southern part of Normandy. I stopped in Sully because I had a good memory of it and I wanted to take a few more photo. If I'm to believe the timestamps on the photos, I took all of them in about 10 minutes' time on that May morning.

I read two things about Sully-sur-Loire this morning that interested me. First, Joan of Arc was held there against her will for a few weeks in the year 1430. The owner of the château at the time didn't like or trust her. I also read that there was a big fire in the château de Sully in early 1918. Several wings that had been added to it in the early 1700s were destroyed, but the parts of it that dated back to the 1300s and 1400s were not damaged.
