La Belle France

Chaumont Sur Loire

Photography by Bernard Brumberg

Recent color photograph of Chaumont sur Loire, a French Castle, taken by Bernard Brumberg.

CHAUMONT SUR LOIRE, FRANCE.



Lucky for me, I have a new French pen-pal, Bernard Brumberg, who has permitted me to adopt him as my new blood brother.


Besides helping me with that baffling language of his, he also kindly shared some pictures with me to help with my Medieval Castle fetish. Since he has had a long and successful career as a photojournalist for French magazines, my good fortune in knowing him has given me the added bonus of being able to share his generosity with others.


With his permission, you can see this recent picture he took of this beautiful castle : a feast for the eye and for the imagination.


For a short essay from a 100 years ago, with a much older picture, see the article on Chaumont sur Loire, by Jules Loiseleur, on this website.
