Azay-le-Rideau: snow beauty

Château Azay-le-Rideau and its park

Driving over today to Chinon for an appointment at Couly-Dutheil at Chinon, we made a brief stop to take some photos of Azay-le-Rideau in the snow.

Lovely photos. They almost look like a winter version of Monet's famous paintings of the bridge in Giverny.

Sam. Many thanks for your comment. I hadn't thought about making them available as post cards but could look into this if you are interested.
