Visiting a castle in France

For some reason, the town of Châtellerault, France seems to have a magnetic pull. My first visit to there was under somewhat trying circumstances. I had just done my best to completely destroy a rental car.

While the garage looked into getting the car back on the road, MaryRose and I explored the town. We stumbled across this lovely little castle and spent about an hour taking photos all around it.

The castle was locked so we didn’t get to go inside but we had a great time anyway.

Oh, and the garage did manage to fix the car.

Since that day, we unknowingly returned to Châtellerault once more. The name of the town also came to our attention at least four more times in all different contexts. For a very small town of maybe 3,000 people that I’d never heard of before, this seems like more than coincidence.
