Description
The chΓ’teau was a long, perfectly simple, white stone building. When I first saw it, one bright November afternoon, I said to my husband as we drove up",What a charming old wooden house!" which remark so astonished him that he could hardly explain that it was all stone, and that no big houses (nor small, either) in France were built of wood. I, having been born in a large white wooden house in America, couldn't understand why he was so horrified at my ignorance of French architecture. It was a fine old house, high in the centre, with a lower wing on each side.
