The few pieces of furniture were beautifully carved. My imagination goes wild thinking of the people who lived here, what they wore, ate and how they lived. Just amazing!

Great chateau! Those were not door knockers in the center of the door so low down that was the door knob or handle to open and close the door I think that was indeed a pantry that you were looking at off the kitchen. The chatalane(sp) was not necessarily the owner of the Chateau but the caretaker of the Chateau. Something like a British gentleman would have a butler.

Had to have been absolutely stunning in its day! Well made. At least it is being kept up. Wish that was done for every single one that is not sold People are very interested in this day and I am shocked of all the younger people already retired from work in their 40's and 50's and they have so much money they buy all of these Castles/Chateaus/Villa's and find a unique way to get them restored and live in them. People used to work forever, and then with Medicare in the U.S. they can retire at maybe 66 yr if they are a teacher maybe in their 50's. People with a large business of their own could sell it and do this. But it is fantastic there is a growing interest. It takes alot of work so you need to be young to take it on and when you ar old it is finished up and you are ready to live in it with your family if you have one.

That seat in the chatelain's bedroom wasn't for doing needlepoint but for archers, the window would have been originally a meurtrier/arrow slit...wood floors are called parquet, same word as in English...the wardrobe off his bedroom would have been a small private chapel....Chateaux were strategically placed to impress the peasants, not accommodate them, so the imposing placement was chosen for them to inspire awe of their masters, not investigate how lavishly they lived...
@EdmunddelaRiviere2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for having a look. What you say about the seats is interesting. I have never heard of these formerly being used for arrow slits. Although I believe I’ve actually seen paintings from the mediaeval era of women doing needle point by these windows as it was the best source of light. I’ll have to do further research. As for the wood floors, I was doing a bad job of describing what is called “sol de Périgord”. This is a particular style of wood floor made up of short boards running one way and one longboard running in adjacent direction on both sides. Being new to this region I was going by what local people had told us about this being a particular flooring style of the Périgord region. I find it interesting that wood floors are called parquet floors in Europe. In the United States a parquet floor is a particular style of wood floor. The general term for wood flooring would be called a hardwood floor. Thanks for your input.
