Mosaic Monday: A French Theme

Last week, I took you to

the gardens of Monet's Giverny

and down the block to the Ancien Hotel Baudy.

This week, how about a pictorial exploration

of castles, French-style?

Top row: Azay Le Rideau, Villandry from the gardens

Center row: Chateau Chinon, Chenonceau (my personal favorite)
 spanning the River Cher, Chateau d'Amboise
Bottom row: Cheverny and Chateau de Chambord,
a French Renaissance masterpiece 
with a double-helix staircase, 440 rooms and
365 fireplaces. 


The splendor of these places, the history
of royalty and aristocracy embedded energetically
in those rooms -- mind boggling!
