Chateau de Montsoreau
$22.00
One of the only Loire châteaux built directly in the river. The white tuffeau stone, the soft limestone the whole valley is dressed in, sits in the current, where the Vienne flows into the Loire below Saumur. The village above the castle is one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France. Inside the walls, a quiet museum of conceptual art now lives in the old rooms, an unexpected second life for a fifteenth-century building. The river does the slow polishing it has always done.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
