Up the river


This impressive house is in fact just up the river Loire from central Amboise.  This is the view from l'Ile d'Or, the island of gold.  A peaceful scene indeed.

Update 8 August 2013:  I have just learned that this is actually le Centre Malvau, a drug and alcohol abuse treatment center.

  2. Pretty, and high enough to avoid flooding.

  3. Thanks, guys. Indeed, I don't think they worry too much about flooding up there.
