The flags fly above the Chateau Bois Thibault, a #castle visited by Sir Lancelot (according to the writer Chretien de Troyes), and also visited by #writer Victor Hugo and artist Camille Pissarro. Hopefully, one day, you will be able to visit too! I'll be happy to give you a tour! https://t.co/r8q19ceYfT
