February calm along the Indre... a quiet wooden footbridge leads straight into the fairy-tale silhouette of Loches.
On the bucolic banks of the Indre River in Loches, where a modest wooden bridge crosses a side channel or mill race, offering one of the most picturesque views of the Cité Royale.
In the distance, the imposing Renaissance Logis Royal (home to Charles VII, Agnès Sorel, Jeanne d'Arc's triumphant visit in 1429, and Anne de Bretagne) and the clustered towers of the the Collegiate Church of Saint-Ours (12th-century Romanesque gem with its pyramid-shaped spires). Bare winter trees frame the scene perfectly, the river's murky winter flow adding a soft, reflective mood, typical of Touraine's gentle backdrop.
