While still cold at night (around freezing temperatures), we've had some nice sunny days recently in Amboise. So on one such day, I captured the Heurtault tower which is one of two such towers at the château. What makes these towers so interesting is that each contains a wide spiral ramp. The ramp allows horse-drawn carriages to ascend from the river-level streets up to the main château level.
Superbe photo, et explication très intéressante. Les gargouilles doivent avoir apprécié la chaleur d'aujourd'hui !
ReplyDeleteI like getting shots of gargoyles. I imagine each one is different around the tower?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question. I think are all a little different at least in pose.
DeleteI really like that, Stuart!
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a handy feature Stuart :) I like your angle up into that gorgeous blue sky. So many interesting details and features on the tower.
