Chateau de St Germain

Last week with my mom, we visited the Chateau de St German which is now an archeology museum.  here are some fun pictures.  but to think that i was once obsessed with archeology?  what was i thinking???

the castle from the gardens

  

the court yard, view of the chapel

a model of the castle from above.  the castle is aaaaaaall the way in the back.  with amazing gardens in the front.  imagine weeding...

a staircase..  i love the brick detail

a gigantic fireplace.  look how tall it is, compared to the chairs!

  

a cool doorknob and lock.  the F is for Francois I.

the jugs they used for wine and soup back in the day...

old school dice...  pretty original...

the needles they used to sew...  and some thimbles in the back.

 

some spoons.

well that was what i thought was the most interesting finds on my journey through the museum.  but the castle itself and the gardens are pretty amazing, not to mention the view!
