approaching mini Versailles of Chateau Beaumesnil over the wooden bridge from the garden, Normandy, France

In baroque style and nicknamed the "Norman Versailles" en.normandie-tourisme.fr/normandy-tourism-109-2.html , Beaumesnil features among the most beautiful châteaux built under the reign of Louis XIII in France.
The magnificent façade of bricks and stones, the wealth of the decoration, multiple carved heads above the windows give this castle built between 1633 an 1640 a splendid appearance just before the age of the sun king Louis XVI. It replaced a medieval castle whose “donjon” (keep) has been retained as a folly in the moat. Elegantly furnished, the residence houses a very beautiful library and a remarkable museum of old book binders. No less superb, the park extending over more than 60 hectares which surrounds the castle was designed by La Quintinie, a student of Le Nôtre in Versailles. en.normandie-tourisme.fr/pcu/beaumesnil,-le-chateau-des-g... more in French here www.chateaubeaumesnil.com.
