The 500 year old Château de la Caze in the Gorges du Tarn is one of our favourite stopping off places when going south to see our sons. It is the most wonderful, romantic hotel with a lovely restaurant. I am always convinced I will meet the Lady of Shalott, my Lady Greensleeves, or their French equivalent, round one of the corners.
These two following photos are views from the windows of our room the last time we were there.Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Thro' the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four grey walls, and four grey towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.
A little further down the river was an entirely different style of architecture - homes built directly into the rock.
This was taken from high above the gorge.
OMG this are beautiful, what a great place to vacation at. I particularly like the last picture. My picture won't be quite this spectacular. I will be posting it soon.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What a gorgeous hotel. :) It looks like a great place to stay. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful blog! And I'm very envious that you live in the U. K. Nothing like having the whole rest of Europe at your doorstep. I only have Florida!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful photos. I am especially intriqued by the houses that sit in the gorge. I'm not sure that I would want to live there, but beautiful nonetheless.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for visiting my site. I'll be back to visit!
WOW - how gorgeous!!!! I will have to make a point to go there one day. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It would be wonderful to stay in that hotel. Just gorgeous. :) Lovely photos. :)

ReplyDeleteSome of the turrets look like they came from the castle in my photo!
What a beautiful chateau. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very romantic ! I hope you met at least a ghost haunting through the castle during nights !
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! I wish the United States had a bit more depth to it! I am hoping to go back to Europe for our 10th wedding anniversary.
