Rapunzel’s Window in Barrou.

High above the ground, a small dormer window rises from the steep slate roof of this house on the Route du Moulin à Vent in Barrou in Southern Touraine. With its rounded turret, pointed roof and solitary upper window, it has all the ingredients for a Loire Valley version of a Rapunzel tower. 

“Through every window,the Loire Valley breathes — calm, patient, and quietly luminous.”
