Le Chateau Du Dhere

[poliphilo]

Sunday afternoon- as If I hadn't done enough- I went and had a look at the Chateau du Dhere- a 15th century house which lies about half a kilometre outside the village. In Britain a property like this would almost certainly be in the hands of the National Trust. But this is France- where there's no equivalent to the Trust- so it's in private hands- and there's no admittance.



In the evening we went and collected Matt with a view to us all going on a trip to Chamonix the following day.

A private residence still? I see a car parked there. The towers are wonderful and what a view they have!

Yes, it's a private residence. Just out of view are a kiddies' swing and slide.

I took this picture by sticking my camera through the hedge.
