Photograph taken inside Crest donjon. It is a scanned photo.
Crest is a little town situated in Drôme department (south east ).
Crest has the highest keep ( 52 m ) still existing in France. This tower was a jail-house from 15th century to 19th century.
Until 1632, it formed a part of a big fortress which has been dismantled by the troops of king Louis XIII.
It was saved from destruction thanks to the town councillors, at that time.
Photographie prise à l'intérieur du donjon de Crest.
Crest est une petite ville située dans le département de la Drôme. Son donjon , resté intact, est haut de 52 mètres ( le plus haut de france dit-on ). Ce dernier servit de prison du 15e siècle au 19e siècle. Il faisait alors partie d'une vaste forteresse qui fut démantelée par l'armée de Louis XIII, en 1632-1633.
Il fut épargné grâce à l'intervention des édiles de la ville qui surent convaincre le roi. |

Ciao Jean.
Bella composizione, peccato che sia un pò sfocata.
