Re your question on the castles: Some of the Loire castles are still privately owned, but even when they are, most are open to visitors (at least part of the year) to help cover maintenance costs. I also think they get tax breaks for contributing to the "cultural patrimony". The bigger castles however, are owned by the state. In any case, there are many, many that you can visit. And they're all lovely!

Simply beautiful!
Nice one, Jacob!
Love that sky! It's starting to look like that again here after all those storms last night.
This is absolutely magnificent.
That's not a chestnut tree and I don't see the blacksmith----but all in all a very nice shot. MB
Very special - and your back will not like you keeping the grass short ;-)
I love trees like that. :)
