Staircase, Chateau d'Azay-le-Rideau
Chateau d'Azay-le-Rideau, staircase on the north facade, a Renaissance chateau built 1515-27 by Gilles Berthelot on the foundations of an 11th century fortress, Loire Valley, Indre-et-Loire, France. It is built in both Italian and French styles on an island in the Indre river, and is one of the earliest French Renaissance chateaux. This staircase with banisters on either side is a departure from the usual French spiral staircases, and is of Italian influence. The chateau is listed as a historic monument and is part of the Loire Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
