Monday's chateau - the castle of Palluau-sur-Indre

This imposing castle overlooking the Indre valley (36) dates from the 12th to the 15th century when it was restored after having suffered from the fighting of the Hundred Years War. Once the home of the first governor of Quebec, Louis de Buade de Frontenac, Count of Palluau, it is now in private hands under a continuing restoration programme.
