The Chateau parking area filled up while I was up photographing the funny farm, and we quickly noticed an unusual preponderance of kiddies lining up to visit the chateau, many en costume. It was

Fortunately, Mssr. Guillotine hadn't been invented yet and he was hidden away in
the chapel; can't have a proper chateau without a guillotine, right? |
