The town called Luynes, pop. 5,000, is about 10 miles west of the city of Tours on the Loire river. CHM and I went there in July 2010. I don't know if he had ever been there before, but I know I hadn't. Luynes includes a medieval fortified château built on high ground on the right bank of the Loire. We didn't go inside because it required a guided tour, which neither I nor CHM of us particularly enjoy(ed). I myself would rather read about and then see, or see and then read about such places while looking at photos I've taken. Actually, the one just below is a photo CHM took when we went to Luynes back then. I was driving.
I'll post more photos of the Château de Luynes over the next few days.
It really is amazing to see these old buildings... the wood carvings always get me. Magnificent.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Looking forward to more photos.
