ok, so this picture of azay-le-rideau came to my junk mail-box, sent by the country fo france in some sort of travel newsletter designed to convince me to make travel plans asap to a variety of gaulic destinations.......oh, but i would so like to do just that.....if only i had sufficient vacation hours.....but for now i will just lean back and recall fondly past trips......like the day i visited this chateau in the Loire area........it really is quite elegant......though not as big as some of the others.....but visually stunning nonetheless......
