Chateau Chantilly

 

I found on trip adviser that some one said Chateau Chantilly was like a little Versailles with out all the tourist.  Seeing as it was a unplanned flying visit to France, we didn't really have time for places where there would be lots of queues, other than at Merlin's Castle.  I will get to that in another post.  Before I show you any of the UNBELIEVABLY beautiful gardens or views, I wanted to show you the one room that made my heart beat faster.

 

I love a good book.  I think being able to read is the biggest most important thing a parent can teach their child.  You can learn so much, teach yourself a new language, how to cook, where to go... the list is endless.  Reading, yes, I have a love affair with books.  Be they paper, or little electrons bouncing in my Kindle. 

 

I give you the library.  I apologise about the pictures.  Like the National Trust in the UK, you weren't allowed a flash.  Enjoy...

 

it was a little bit Hogwarts...  Love Harry Potter, yes I do

 

 



Hand written manuscripts.  My face was pressed against the glass for these beauties.  I can imagine a Monk, slumped over his desk writing this in the bitter cold, by candle light.

 

Exquisite isn't it?  Love, love, loved it.

 

 

I am currently reading Made from Scratch by Jenna (Love her blog, I have a very small case of  Barnheart) and also The Museum of Innocence.

 

Do you love a good book?  What are you reading right now?
