At Château de Chaumont the gardeners were busy removing the ready-planted summer garden beds. I had no idea that such a system existed. It was fascinating. Au château de Chaumont les jardiniers étaient en train d’enlever les parterres d’été qu’ils achètent déjà plantés. Je n’avais aucune idée que ce système existait. C’était fascinant.

Catkins – Chatons
I had never seen pine tree catkins like these at Chateau de Chaumont before although I’m sure they must be everywhere. Je n’avais jamais vu des chatons de pin comme ceux-ci au château de Chaumont. Pourtant il doit en avoir partout.
Autumn Offerings – Offrandes d’automne
We went to Chateau de Chaumont today and almost turned back when we saw the crowded parking lot. I’m glad we didn’t. We don’t know where all the people were – maybe inside the castle – but we were able to walk around and enjoy the beautiful sunny weather. En arrivant au parking bien rempli …
Variegated Holly – Houx panaché
Our holly has lots of berries too but nothing like this splendid variegated holly bush at Château de Chaumont. Notre houx a également beaucoup de baies mais il n’y a aucune comparaison avec ce houx panaché splendide au château de Chaumont.

The Red Balloon – Le ballon rouge
As we were cycling home from Chaumont on Tuesday we saw no fewer than seven hot air ballons in the sky at the same time. This one was just taken off as we rode past a field about 10 minutes later. No way would I get into that basket! Lorsque nous rentrions de Chaumont en …
Chaumont Church – L’église de Chaumont
