the donjon (keep) of Vincennes
at Tours. the Tours Cathedral. so all gothic cathedrals are generally the same. this one however is missing some key figures. what's missing?
Château de Chenonceau, Toursone of the most visited châteaux of Loire Valley.
this hall is above a river. isn't that cool? :)
the exterior
the tour bus sans driver!
Clois-lucé, Amboise.this is where leonardo da vinci lived but not buried
Château d'Amboise, Amboiseinteresting chateau with many examples of both gothic and renaissance influence
not sure, but another castle along the loire river
Château de Chambord, Chambord.the guy who made this invested so much money on the architecture of it that he ran out of money to fill it apparently. tant pis. but isn't it amazing??
Château de Chevernythe fourth generation of the duke/earl (forgot which) still resides in this castle.
aren't they amazingg?? unfortunately, due to the tour I was on, I didn't get a chance to see the two major châteaux i wanted to see: Villandry and Azay-le-Rideau. bummer bummer..
