I was last week visiting France and i would like to share with you those fantastic days. Here you can see a Gothic construction - The Amboise Castle. Built on a rock headland dominating the city of Amboise and the Loire river, this old medieval fortress preserved this time an enclosure, which contains the actual castle.The seigniory of Amboise is attached to the crown in 1431 per Charles VII who orders to do some work. Louis XI reinforces the defense of the castle and installs there his wife, Charlotte of Savoy, and his children.

A very nice image Antonio, such good detail and that great blue sky to set it off so well. I enjoyed the narrative just as much. Thank you, Tigs♥ =^..^=

Very nice castle. Glad you share your pictures of France with us. I suppose it is in the South. Where? In Provence?

Antonio - Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home! Especially if it's a castle. So many good photo elements in this shot. Thad
