Rue Nationale is the main pedestrian shopping street through Amboise. The arch is under one of the icons of the town, the bell tower. On this early morning there was a bright and cloudless sunrise that illuminated the end of the street that opens onto the main square. A few hours later this area was wall-to-wall tourists and shoppers.
What a lovely photo! It makes me want to be there. I've only seen it packed. It rained the whole time we were in Blois the last time so I couldn't take any photos.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is usually packed. One has to get up early for photos like this.
Deleteoh that is gorgeous! seriously! have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tanya !
DeleteNice to wander places that are filled with people when they are empty. I like the big casinos at 7am, when the nightly crowds have just left and the daytime ones not awakened yet.
ReplyDeleteYes, it must be unusual to see the casinos empty.
