Hello Friends !Today, we should have been to visit a painting exhibition exhibition in Giverny, but as it was warm and very sunny I chose to visit the « Chateau of Miromesnil » were the writer Guy de Maupassant had spent three years near Dieppe on the Normand coast. This castle dates back to the 17 Century.
I love castles and it is always with pleasure that I visit one! I already visited it with our children a long time ago.
The castle is surrounded by by a wide moat full of water in the past.
I also like the architecture
The two big sort of vases on top right were filled with oil and lit at night to embellish the castle
On the first floor there are five guest rooms.
This is the entrance of the big vegetable garden
There is a mix of vegetables and flowers , the garden is surrounded by high brick walls to protect it and keep it warm

Mr L coming to join me and help me to go down some stairs.
Rhubarb ! đ lots of of jam and crumbles!
Such lovely roses so perfumed
It should be at the end of the day a little walk by the sea!
Some of the inside of the castle
The beds were short because they prefer to sleep sitting up rather than lying down ( only dead people were lying down!)
This is the back of the castle it’s a different style
In the little chapel these chapel and statues are from the 12 Century. A Middle aged castle was on the place before and had been destroyed during religious wars.
