Light filters through the stained glass of the chapel at Château de Chenonceau, softened further by winter and candle glow. The windows do not dominate the space, they quietly frame it, colouring stone, wood, and silence.
At Christmas, the chapel takes on a gentler presence. Fir branches, white flowers, and carefully placed decorations sit beneath centuries old glass, creating a meeting point between faith, tradition, and seasonal ritual.
These windows were never meant to impress at a glance. Instead, they reward stillness, allowing light to move slowly across the walls as the day unfolds.
“In the Loire, windows do not rush the light, they invite it in.”
