In the past few days, i have seen more castles than i can count. i prefer these smaller chateaux to the grand palaces of Versaille and Fontainebleau. They feel so much more preserved, a little less touched and off the beaten path. i love the gardens, the paintings, the spiral staircases. But most of all, i love...
the royals.
Quelle suprise, n'est-ce pas?
i like studying the royal family because i love stories, especially true stories. Their stories are full of suspense, intrigue, romance, infamy. So fun.
At each castle, i have taken a small notebook and written while sitting on a
crumbling wall or beneath an archway. i like to pretend that i'm Cassandra
Mortmain, trying to capture the moment as she captures her castle.
if France has taught me nothing else, i think that i have learned the beauty
of a moment. All it takes is a little effort to capture it.
