View of the Lindisfarne Castle from the Crown and Anchor by Beausoleil
The castle reminds us of Mont Saint Michel in France when seen from a distance. You can easily walk to the castle but somehow whenever you see it from the village, it looks very far away.

Totnes Castle by Beausoleil
A little hard to find because it hides behind all the village stores. If you look up when crossing a side street, you will see it looming above. We had to stop and ask directions to find the entrance. It's an English Heritage site so if you're a member, entrance is free.

Steps up to the Château in Montrichard by Beausoleil
You never hear about Montrichard but they have a château ruin with a raptor show, several historic buildings, a couple good restaurants, are on the river with great views and a beach. It's a very friendly town and has a terrific market on Friday morning.

Kitchen at Château de Beauregard by Beausoleil
The Château de Beauregard is a Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France and is slightly north of the village of Cellettes. The ruins of a chapel, prior to the fifteenth century, are still visible in the park and have stone carvings of the shell of the pilgrims going to Saint Jacques de Compostela in Spain. The most impressive part of the castle is the Gallery of Portraits where the walls are decorated with 327 portraits of famous people who lived between 1328 (date of the beginning of the reign of Philippe VI of France) and 1643 (death of Louis XIII). The floor is decorated with 5500 Delft tiles so you can look up or down and be impressed. The ceiling is also brilliantly decorated with the use of lapis lazuli paint for the blue. At the time it was done, the lapis lazuli cost more than gold so it is a very expensive ceiling. The gardens are extensive and themed. The outstanding feature (to us) was the 14th century chapel which was located on the route of St Jacques de Compostela. On the side you will find carved stone shells of Saint Jacques. The chapel is, unfortunately, in ruins. Inside, two plaques commemorate Count Alain du Pavillon and one of his sons.

Guard House at the top of the Keep by Beausoleil
Don't miss this. You climb a narrow circular stairway and exit through this little guardhouse to a terrace on top of the castle keep. The garden views are wonderful and you can see the small village of Villandry and far beyond. Well worth the climb.

Château de Castelnaud-la-Chapelle by Beausoleil
There is a very nice museum of medieval weapons in this château. In summer they have demonstrations. The rest of the year, you see them set up but not in use. The entire village is extremely picturesque and the castle has been restored lovingly. There are a couple good restaurants in the village and adequate parking both at the bottom of the village and up by the château.
