Chateau

Today we had the pleasure of exploring some beautiful chateaux in the Giverny/Vernon area. It is hard to believe that only an hour's train journey away Paris is gripped by Olympic fever while this imposing Chateau de la Roche-Guyon sits above a small, traditional French village where the pace of life is slow and relaxed.
The photo was taken from a nearby public garden, filled with various fruit trees, notably pears.
