really impressive,i never heard of this before. this is a very subtle and beautiful picture, and the person looking at the tapestry makes the picture even better.

Il suffit de demander :-))
Ces tapisseries plusieurs fois centenaires sont magnifiques.
Une photo aussi bien faite pour montrer et un personnage qui donne l'échelle.
Jaime bien

jolie prise pour une merveille qui vaut à elle seule le déplacement à angers mais c'est loin d'être tout cette ville est particuliérement attirante et puis de si bons vins tout près, bref un bon moment de douceurs angevines
