This tiny little "house" was recently renovated by the town of Amboise to serve as a lookout over the town. Again, I admit to not knowing the history of this little one room building but the results of the renovation are wonderful and it is indeed a great view over the town.
I wonder if the building began "life as a lookout. It certainly appears to be located in a great spot for seeing long distances.
ReplyDeleteYes, I wonder the same thing. It certainly appears to have been built just for this purpose. It seems way too small to be a residence. My guess is that a nearby home had this built just for the view.
DeleteIt does have the perfect aspect up there Stuart, does someone actually man the 'watch'?
ReplyDeleteIt's all up to the tourists now !
DeleteYou should shot a panoramic view from up there.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good suggestion. Hold that thought.
DeleteIt's got a great vantage point, for sure!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll have to hike up there sometime to watch the sunset (since it faces West). But not this week. It's been raining every day.
DeleteI don't s'pose you could sneak up there to show us the view? Oh right, you've just said you would. We'll have to wait then, considering this week's weather forecast...
ReplyDeleteYou must be from the same school of delayed gratification as I. That would be the school I dropped out of.
DeleteI'll volunteer to 'man' the watch!
ReplyDeleteI'll help you. I'll bring the wine.
