L'origine du Donjon de Vez remonte à l’époque gallo-romaine. Il a servi à défendre la Gaule contre les invasions Barbares. Jeanne d'Arc y est passée.
Je me suis promenée sur le chemin des rondes, la vue étant très belle, j'ai pris des photos. Dans la chapelle, une très jolie lumière colorée entre à travers les vitraux de Daniel Buren. Il y a deux gisants en marbre blanc sculptés par Emmanuel Frémiet (sculpteur français). Tout en haut, la salle Eiffel avec une armature métallique en berceau conçue par Gustave Eiffel. Une superbe visite dans ce monument historique classé.

Cool dungeon! I've never seen one I don't guess! Wonder what that golden pot is for? And it is funny that they have now shrubs and groomed bushes...it would have been weeds I'm sure back then :) Did you *gasp* when you saw the bones?
I start to think of stories or fairytales when I see these pictures! Does it inspire you to draw? I love the different patterns, shapes and the colors... I can see watercolor illustrations very easily.
♛ There are exhibitions of modern art in the dungeon, like some sculptures of Antoine Bourdelle, the "Golden Pot" by Jean-Pierre Raynaud, which returns the sunlight, the windows of Daniel Buren, the Wall Drawing of the American artist Sol LeWitt... At the time, it was maybe mud everywhere :-D The garden has been created by the landscape architect Pascal Cribier in 1990. It's him who has rehabilitated the “Tuileries Gardens” in Paris. I was very impressed by the bones :-D
♛ We planned to bring our painting material with us next time Bethany :-D
