Monday's chateau - Château de la Guerche.

Château de la Guerche at sunset: 15th-century towers glow against a pink-orange sky in the Loire Valley.

As the sun dips low over Southern Touraine, the sky ignites in soft pinks and oranges behind the sturdy 15th-century towers of Château de la Guerche. Perched on the banks of the Creuse, this fortified gem, built during Charles VII's reign and later restored, stands timeless against the twilight, its conical roofs and stone walls catching the last warm glow.

A quiet, magical close to the day in the heart of Southern Touraine.

No less impressive in daylight!

“Each château tells a story — of kings, of artists, and of the dream of France itself.”
