Driving through the countryside near Melun late in the day with glorious light, clouds, and sunshine, the sight of an arrow straight, tree-lined road brought me to a screeching halt like any ill-mannered tourist would do. Where could such an obvious well-planned, grand statement lead? So, a quick u-turn and off to find out.
It turns out that at the end of the trees was the driveway to Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, a baroque-styled French château. It was too late in the day to visit - perhaps another time?........
Love those tree lined roads. So many of them.
ReplyDeleteIt sure takes vision to plant trees like that knowing you will not live to see them mature.
