Chateau de Maintenon

Today was very cold and rainy. We took a drive to the Chateau de Maintenon. We were not allowed to take any photos inside. This drives me crazy! So we went through a few rooms and wandered about the garden. Because of the time of year and weather, it was astounding to see a completely empty place - perfect for taking photos and short films. To imagine the Sun King wandering with his mistress about the place is interesting at best. When I ask what is considered an antique in the US it sounds almost funny when you think of it here. Even in the rain the gardens were spectacular, but that is the case any time of the year. Every day is a surprise, because I don't speak French or Farsi, which is the predominant language of choice among 7 people. Tomorrow may be Paris. Let's hope it stops raining.
