Gouttières du Chateau de Blois - Blois, France - Gargoyles and Chimeras on Waymarking.com

[FR] Au début des années 1500 (entre 1498 et 1503), Louis XII entreprend avec Anne de Bretagne (son épouse depuis 1499) une reconstruction du château [de Blois] dans un style gothique tardif, sans fortifications, sous la direction des architectes Colin Biart et Jacques Sourdeau (qui travaillera aussi à la construction de l'aile François Ier), et la création d'un jardin Renaissance aujourd'hui disparu.

[EN] This wing, of red brick and grey stone, forms the main entrance to the château, and features a statue of the mounted king above the entrance. Although the style is principally Gothic, as the profiles of mouldings, the lobed arches and the pinnacles attest, there are elements of Renaissance architecture present, such as a small chandelier.
