Another View from the Wall

I climbed back up on the castle ramparts and this time the parapet was low enough to actually see what I was photographing. This building reminded me of something you might see in Merry ole England. I tend to forget how closely tied Normandy and England were from the moment William the C invaded England until Henry VIII turned over England's last possessions in France. A period of almost 500 years. For many of those years French was the official language at court. A great deal of the modern English language is based on French. Most English law is based on Norman law.
