The castle at Beauregard. |
The Portrait Gallery with over 300 portraits! We spent quite a while looking at them all and talking about them. (Yes, Monsieur Le Hubby and I are both history buffs. One of the reasons we get along so well together and always have fun on our vacations. Awwwwwww!) |
Then I found this one in a room all by its lonesome. | Another thing to see is the garden at Beauregard. It's divided into "rooms". |
"The Purple Room"
|
"The White Room" | This was the first time I had ever seen WHITE lavender. | "The Black Room" | "The Pink Room" | "The Yellow Room" |
|
Back in Blois. |
The Captain on the steps. [Awwwww!]
|
This is the Cathedral. It is right next to the apartment. (And I mean that literally. From the apartment terrace one can see inside the bell towers!) | It also means that every time we go to Blois, we get peeks of church ceremonies, like this bride heading off to get hitched. (And boy, did I feel for her. It was over 30 degrees celsius that day and I bet she was sweatin' in that dress. But doesn't she look fabulous, darling? We thought so, too.) |
Blois at dusk. (This is the view from the terrace of the apartment.) |
Monsieur Le Hubby was blowing off the firecrackers we bought at the open-air market while I was waited for the JULY 14 FIREWORKS to begin. Right there by the river is where they set them off. | And they're off! | Here are a few shots of just a part of the fireworks show... | And then Dany Brillant gave a concert at the bridge. | (Psst...I was still knitting here and there!) |
|
I took this as I after a dinner of entrecôte, green beans, potatos, cheeses and ice cream. Oh, and lots of wine. | |
