Description
This castle (château de Bruniquel, XIIe-XVIIIe) is located near the Tarn where I'm living :-) (Tarn-et-Garonne, France)

You would want to have a good head for heights living in this precarious castle ! Neat capture & ~Cheers~
Waoh! Il ne faut/fallait pas avoir le vertige pour vivre là! Mais déjà, quand il a été construit, cela faisait un côté par lequel l'ennemi avait peu de chances de passer. Le château a assez bien conservé son style du Moyen-Age on dirait. L'endroit est superbe, et la nature a l'occasion de rester à sa place un peu plus bas.
I love this shot !!!!
Merci Jean pour cette magnifique photo prise dans ta région...j'admire l'audace des constructeurs de l'époque qui n'hésitaient pas à construire sur des 'a-pics' à seule fin de n'avoir évidemment qu'une seule entrée à surveiller ! Je suppose les murs colossalement épais, et il me semble voir de petites fenêtres, voire des meurtrières qui devaient permettre aux gardes de l'époque d'avoir un oeil quand même sur leurs arrières !!!
What a beautiful shot and castle!!!!!!
beautiful architectural shot...wonderful how it is built on top of that large looks to be rock cliff...it is very beautiful.. chills and thrills
Marvelous picture! I wonder how old it is? Bet it could tell many stories!
The construction began in the XII th century, and changes were made to the eighteenth century. There is the link for the wikipedia page, but... in french :-) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teaux_de_Bruniquel
Très belle forteresse, avec des fenêtres aménagées début de la Renaissance.
A magnificent looking old structure and a fantastic photo, Jean! You live in a very interesting part of the world! Bravo and many fine kudos for sharing!
Wonderful image and castle
Wow, that's quite a shot.
Fantastique prise de vue de ce château. L' année dernière nous avons passé une dizaine de jours dans le Périgord et j' avais photographié le château de Monfort ( une autre architecture mais posé d' une façon similaire sur la falaise ). Je te l' enverrai prochainement.
nice shot of castle!
very beautiful castle and a great capture
Looks it pretty good shape for something that old. We don't have anything from the XIi century in the States. Old to us is 1700's.
Fantastic shot awesome looking castle!!
Wonderful capture great pov!!!
Magnificent capture. Love it!!
Qu'est-ce une forteresse impressionnante! Soyons honnêtes. Pour cette grande vue, je voudrais prendre le chemin ardu sur moi ... Une photo fabuleuse!
Fabulous shot I just love castles would love to go and explore many of them, we only have one castle in New Zealand.. I wonder if they had an engineers report done on the cliff before building there to ensure it wasn't going to fall away lol.
Wonderful view and shot,what a beautiful old castle**********
