| The Castle with soldier and sentry box, postcard |
A little city within the city, the Count's
Castle has been, since its restoration, The site
of symbolic ventures and appropriations. In 1918 it was still
occupied by the military, today it is the domain of paying visitors.
The castle doors are the frontier where the ordinary life of
the citizens stops.
The luxurious Hôtel de la cité, developed at the beginning of
the century by Michel
Jordy, is another separate territory. Decorated
in medieval style and catering to a prestigious clientele, it
constitutes a different kind of castle within the city. Colette,
Sir Winston Churchill, the Duke of Windsor...stayed there. The
inhabitants of the city often liked to have their photographs
taken in front of its door where well trained staff were stationed. |
