Chateau de La Motte Tilly





I first visited this chateau in 1997 and again in 2008 which is when these were taken. It is a very simple chateau but is one of my favourite French chateau (perhaps because of it's simplicity).  The gardens too are simply laid out without the extravagance of the royal chateaux and palaces.  It was used as a location for the film Valmont starring Colin Firth and Annette Bening, based on the book Dangerous Liaisons by Choderlos de Laclos and which to my mind was a far better movie than the John  Malkovic/Glenn Close version Dangerous Liaisons.

I hope you enjoy these pictures.  Remember that if you share the facebook link and/or retweet the twitter link then you could get a print of your choice in the draw on New Years Eve.
