Letter From Paris: Azay Le Rideau

Straight from a fairy tale...

IMG_8147
When we were in the Touraine a couple of weeks ago (the Loire Valley), the Lone Wolf and I visited Château d'Azay-le-Rideau, which was the creation of a wealthy financier of François I, Gilles de Berthelot.  It is not far from Chinon--an exceptional Renaissance château--and on the Unesco World Heritage list. 

Something else to put on your France list.

  • I'm on a mission--to walk to all the addresses I can find of The Lost Generation writers--Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and more. I've gotta tell you. They had some great digs, and it's a kick to look them up. As M. Malrick of our beloved Hotel Saint Germain would say, not bad. That wild gang knew how to create their lives. Something to think about. I'll try to get some photos up soon. Ciao.
