Starry starry nights, in the Loire Valley...
Not only do we get beautiful sunsets here in Centre Val de Loire but often the night skies are as awesome...with little light pollution looking skywards can be a delight. These beautiful night skies were captured by Vivien Bluteau in Barrou in Southern Touraine.
