Chateau de Castelnaud
$22.00
A medieval fortress above the Dordogne valley, in the Périgord Noir. The keep looks across to Château de Beynac on the opposite ridge — the two castles spent the Hundred Years' War watching each other, the river between them changing hands. The stone is honey-coloured at noon and almost amber at the last hour of the day. Trebuchets and mangonels stand in the bailey, full-scale and rope-tensioned, and the museum inside holds two hundred medieval weapons. The Dordogne bends below; the village of La Roque-Gageac sits a few miles upriver.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
