Grand shots! I love medieval architecure! Thanks for sharing! Happy WW! :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I am so dreaming to see one of these structures one day...castles, towers..
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love wondering around these places, suspended in time. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you all.
ReplyDeleteIt really makes you wonder how they live on that time & how they have structured it into a military base as well.
Dong I’m sorry as for now, I couldn’t really tell. On my brochure it didn’t speak about the perimeter of the structure. & when I was checking it on the site they have diff infos. I also would like to know. But they say that the wall is about 20 meters some say its 10 feet, which I doubt. Not so sure of the two.
The English site they have are still in reconstruction. My French is not that good.
Anyway, to those who haven’t seen a castle. I would wish that you will be seeing one in the future. The structure is overwhelming & to know more about them is like reliving an era that we only read in books. Sometimes, I spent time reading about the places I have visited, but still I do not feel adequate to tell about them nor I could express how it feels been there.
I know sometimes, i wish someone else should be on my place,perhaps they could be more helpful promoting the place.
Beautiful pictures, Maya. What a fantastic place to visit.
ReplyDeleteMy WW post is here. Have a great day!
Sorry I'm so late, I've been busy. Maybe it's still Wednesday somewhere in the Pacific... :-)
