Model, Chateau des Ponts-de-Ce, Angers, Maine-et-Loire

Chateau des Ponts-de-Ce, model of the chateau in its pre 1847 state, 1996-97, by Alain Brifault, at Ponts-de-Ce, Angers, Maine-et-Loire, France. The 15th century keep on the river Loire was originally a summer residence of King Rene, duke of Anjou. The castle also served to protect the only crossing point of the Loire between Saumur and Nantes. It was built in the 13th century on the site of an earlier 9th century fortress, and reworked in the 15th century under King Rene. It is listed as a historic monument and is now the Musee des Coiffes et des Tradition. Picture by Manuel Cohen
