I have to say we were extremely lucky that day for photos. I have visited the Citadelle before - but the lighting on that day was just stunning. Always great to have a little luck here and there.

Thank you for sharing your photo...Bonjour Jennifer. Thank you for sharing your photos of this visit to la Citadelle de Blaye. I have never seen it, but like many French people, am familiar with the works of the great Monsieur de Vauban. They can be found all over the country. The Sun King's most remarkable skill was to surround himself with incredible talent. <br /><br />I have enjoyed following your blog this year, and will be visiting often in 2014. As an expat married to a Frenchman, you might enjoy the writings of my friend Victoria Ferauge, an American living in Versailles. Her blog is named the Franco-American Flophouse. She wrote a great piece this week about American expats in France and the Lost Generation. <br /><br />For now, I would like to wish you and yours "une excellent année 2014 !" A l'année prochaine !<br /><br />Veronique (French Girl in Seattle) French Girl in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347995356689205203noreply@blogger.com
