Oh yeah, all of these stories take place in France…

I was forcefully reminded after our two visits today that many fairytale stories take place in France. Case in point: Angers.


This castle is famous for its huge tapestry (I heard my professor say it’s the largest in the world, but I could have heard wrong—it wouldn’t be the first time) depicting the book of Revelation. The tapestry was pretty cool, but doesn’t this look like where Beauty could have tamed the Beast? Especially because it is strongly fortified, it would be very difficult for Belle to escape.


(these pictures don’t really do it justice—it was huge)

Case in point 2: Langeais. Doesn’t it look like where “Ever After” was filmed?
