My theme for this week is "Les portails" - entrances, doorways and gates. Not many can be more impressive than the Renaissance postern of this chateau in the Loir valley near Besse-sur-Braye. The Chateau of Courtanvaux was built in the 14th Century with various additions being constructed later in the 15th and 16th centuries.
OJ - remembering a visit to the chateau and its magnificent garden and lake surrounded by trees just beginning to change to their autumn colours.
A very impressive looking entrance it is.
