SLEEPING BEAUTY

Hi! Our third day on the "Chateaux de la Loire" tour is still under a grey sky but
today we have visited "Sleeping Beauty" Castle

Duke of Blacas and his family warmly welcome  you to the Château d'  Ussé  (Indre & Loire 37) near Tours

It seams that Ussé was the castle Charles Perrault had in mind when writing "the Sleeping Beauty"



Once upon a time
baby Aurore and her three godmothers

  2. Beautiful. I love it when they set up a tableau in a room so can get a feel for how the chateau was used.

  3. Oh wow, this one is the best so far! Just so beautiful. Funny how Disney had to invent these castles and you have the real things!
