Gorgeous post! I stopped here once but happened to be a day they were closed. The gardens were open so we had a picnic on the lawn and kept driving. So thank you for letting me take a tour now!! Lovely photos.
Exquisite!! Amy I want to be there!! Fantastic post...I just love these dreamy grandiose places:)
How incredible! I really look forward to these posts Amy. My favorite is The Salon de Conde. I love the colors. You know I've noticed these castles or most had such a beautiful sense of color-most rooms, etc are so rich in color. Just beautiful.
These castle photos never get old. If I wasn't paying attention you could put up the same photos week after week and I'd still love looking at them (of course I'm paying attention though). :)
Love the book room - totally drooling over here.
Lovely!! That book room is fantastic!
