I can see this as Disney precursor, for sure. It appears to be a massive construction, clearly, at some point in the past, French nobles had a LOT of money to spend on buildings and gardens. I'm glad some of that costly glory survived.

Love the Beauty of the Castle.
I think the Greenery over shadows the Beatuy of it.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh god this castle looks so unreal, like a cinema setting or a draw in a cartoon. But nevertheless it's a breathtaking castle, so huge and so odd. Thanks for sharing Christophe.
