Château de Bussy-Rabutin, a photo from Bourgogne, Central

Photographer's Note

''The Château de Bussy-Rabutin, also known as Château de Bussy-le-Grand, is a château which developed from a 12th-century castle, located in the commune of Bussy-le-Grand, in the Côte-d'Or department, Bourgogne, eastern France.
The castle was founded in the 12th century by Renaudin de Bussy. It was rebuilt in the 14th century, and the Renaissance galleries were added in the 1520s. It was altered during the reigns of Henri II (1547–1559) and Louis XIII (1610–1643).

Roger de Rabutin, Comte de Bussy (1618–1693), fell into disgrace for allegedly having taken part in an orgy at the Château de Roissy, near Paris, during Holy Week. Bussy was ordered by Louis XIV to retire to his estates, where he passed the time by composing his Histoire amoureuse des Gaules. This account of various courtly love affairs caused further scandal, and he was eventually sent to the Bastille on 17 April 1665, where he remained for more than a year. Bussy only obtained his release on condition that he retired once more to Bussy-Rabutin, where he lived in exile from court for seventeen years. Although he briefly returned to court in the 1680s, he soon returned to Bussy-Rabutin, dying there in 1693. During his exile he amassed a collection of portraits, which remains in the château.''

questo ale non lo conoscevo proprio bellissimo ottimo punto di ripresa e vedo che non c'era proprio nessuno ma dove rimane di preciso?
in borgogna ci sono stato nell agosto 2011 molto bella in champagne solo di passaggio tornando dal belgio e ho visitato solo Reims.
che itinerario hai fatto? te lo chiedo per aver spunti e confronti nuovi..la normandia è molto bella sulla costa ma secondo me perde il confronto con la Bretagna li mare e campagna sono splendide.. è chiaro che devi tornare a vederla io ci sono stato 7 giorni e mi sono volati per esempio non ho fatto assolutamente mont san michel caen bayeux e gli sbarchi solo una veduta generale in un giorno...è una regione molto grande forse andrebbe fatta a piccoli pezzi. l alvernia invece è bellissima e selvaggia e lontana dalle carovane turistiche vedi solo francesi e inglesi pochi tedeschi nessun italiano....
pensaci intanto io sto prendendo contatti per la prossima estate potrebbe essere Rugen un isola sul baltico e poi berlino
ciao fammi sapere

Ciao Alessandro
anche tu hai una certa predilezione per la Francia e per le sue bellezze e questo mi fa solo piacere, in questo modo riesco a vedere anche molte altre cose oltre a quelle che visito personalmente.
Tre belle foto e una nota completa e interessante.
Saluti
Carlo

Hi Alessandro,

A nice architecture with the towers. I like these paths leading to the bridge in contrast with the greens.

Best regards

Hello Alessandro,
The walls of both corner towers are heavily weathered by wind and rain. But the facade on the front square looks fantastic. Even from far away the many details are well visible.
Very pretty soft yellow tones.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Alessandro
I think you have certainly chosen the best POV for the main post...this is an easy 10 out of 10 in my mind.

love the powerful and dominating round ends, they have an almost 3D like effect.

and the lighting/colors are exactly how'd you want them to be.

interesting story about the man in your note!
cheers
Craig

Ciao Alessandro,
I am a simple postcard person so I prefer always the frontal view of places like this one here. Lovely castle, I like the two towers which are slightly different. The central part seems more ornamental.
Beautiful place, never heard of it before!
Excellent work,
M

abmdsudi (91661) 2015-09-03 2:45

Hi Alessandro
A remarkable antique chateau well shot symmetrically forcing viewer to fully concentrate on the subject matter. The colours, lighting and contrast are spot on and above all i love the impeccable detail registered. Addition of foreground path is definitely real bonus there. A appealing shot which is a joy to view.. Wonderful shot, Congrats.
Best regards
