Starting Friday, June 10, my aunt with me, it is not far from 14. Direction: The castle of Turenne. After a ten minute drive, we arrive to the medieval village of Turenne and his castle. Unfortunately, the sky is cloudy.

We park down in the parking lot in front of the tourist office at the entrance of the main street, there is an open cave that tells us a part of the history of the Vicomte de Turenne, the history of its image the evolution of the castle through the ages with three walls built in the space of several centuries. We pass an old cellar door, closed it, decorated with Passiflora, before continuing to rise.

Going back a little main street leading to the castle we have two choices: the steep climb and then climb fast or easy that goes around the castle.

We choose the latter option, which allows us to have a gradual rise overlooking the village and the region.

After turning around the castle, we reach a small square which I can take a picture of Caesar Tower standing proudly on top of the castle.

At that time, after time goes continued to deteriorate, that it's raining rain. We hasten to take refuge inside the tower Caesar. The stairs are steep but neither they nor rain will keep me going up the tower to take pictures.

After enjoying the view (and rain) for a good half hour, it's time to go down ... the steps are even more difficult now than the climb. At the exit of the tower, I want to make a HDR gardens''to the ground'':
