Thursday's taken in Touraine and a search for shade...

 

If you are ok with leaving the house today you could do worse than heading over to the tranquil gardens of Chateau de l'Islette in Azay-le-Rideau and taking in the surroundings.

Or you could choose to stay in your shady courtyard...

or find a spot by one of the region's rivers,whatever you choose stay safe and as cool as you can.

This is a photograph of a lintel over a window in a house "La Maison du Poilu" in the village of Bossée in Touraine.

The front of the house also has a soldier with the dates 1914 - 1918 carved below it - it is apparently the work of a then, local stonemason and was done around 1920. We have no further information as to why it was done.
