There was plenty of non-reconstructed area, too. I'll bet they did this so that they could have a place to have more of a draw for tourists -- inside here, they had a video going on one side that kind of re-enacted Plantagenet stories, and, along the way in various areas, there were displays of the evolution of the castle along the years of its life, and other interesting things. It wasn't bad -- it was very simple and didn't feel at all "hokey"... no wax figures or wrong-era plush furniture, or anything like that. <br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-20120649476378645372017-12-21T16:25:18.075+01:002017-12-21T16:25:18.075+01:00Oh well, so much for the idea of a Chinon series. ...Oh well, so much for the idea of a Chinon series.

I am sure it is true to the original. I agree, it looks a little brand new, but let's wait for time's patina to play!chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-29306912929295868542017-12-21T13:38:26.368+01:002017-12-21T13:38:26.368+01:00Disneyfication?Disneyfication?Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-46015820021771930412017-12-21T12:12:50.988+01:002017-12-21T12:12:50.988+01:00Since you went to Chinon in 2005, parts of the cha...Since you went to Chinon in 2005, parts of the chateau shown on your photo have been restored and are no longer<a href="http://www.loireavelo.fr/voir-faire-loire-velo/chateaux-loire/chateau-chinon" rel="nofollow">a ruin.</a>chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-20536057997556279172017-12-21T10:03:25.204+01:002017-12-21T10:03:25.204+01:00C'est comme la chevelure à Éléonore, quand y&#...C'est comme la chevelure à Éléonore, quand y'en a plus, y'en a encore!chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.com
