I think it was possibly photographically the happiest day of my holiday when we visited the castle at Goulaine. I asked where I could take photos and was told I could take them where I wanted.

So that was in the grounds, the exterior of the castle, in the butterfly 'volière' and in the museum about the famous LU biscuit factory in Nantes.

I guess the interior of the castle would have been OK too but we ran out of time and energy for that tour.

What an amazing butterfly. It looks as though it has jewels embedded in its wings. Do they protrude from the surface, or is that an illusion?

Stunning!!!!

@skstein

Sandy, I guess that effect is due to the 'illusionary' qualities of my little Lumix - I was surprised too!
