Taken in Touraine... autumn in Azay-le-Rideau.

Stone bridge and reflections in Azay-le-Rideau, Touraine

A quiet moment by the bridge at Azay-le-Rideau — Taken in Touraine.

Some scenes in Touraine ask for silence and this is one of them. The stone bridge at Azay-le-Rideau has seen centuries of reflections drift by and still the water keeps its calm, holding both time and light.

In autumn, the ivy deepens to crimson, the leaves float past like small thoughts and even the air seems slower. Moments like these remind us that beauty here isn’t only in the châteaux it’s also in the pauses between them.
