Not hard to see the elephant shape of the rock. Some nice paths and trails around.

…without forgetting the famous “dog’s ass” 🙂

Château d'Augerville is a historic castle located in the commune of Augerville-la-Rivière, in Loiret, France. It dates back to the 12th century, when it was a hamlet and fort for the d'Augerville family. It changed hands several times during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and hosted important figures such as Catherine de Medici and King Charles IX. In the 17th century, it was sold to the taxes and renovated into a country house by Jean Perrault de Montevrault. It remained a private residence until the 21st century, when it was transformed into a 5-star hotel with a golf course, spa and chocolate factory. It is a historic monument, a national heritage site of France.

There is no classic wayside cross (sometimes called a field cross in the open field) or a summit cross that crowns a mountain, but a rock engraving. The lower half of the drawing—whenever scratched into the rock—shows a chalice, such as might be used at Eucharistic celebrations. The outer edge of the vessel is decorated with a cross. Another great cross grows out of the chalice itself. Whether this rock engraving is actually connected to the order of the Knights Templar (the exact name was “Poor Knighthood of Christ and the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem”), as indicated as a question in the highlight title, I cannot judge. In this case it would have to go back to the 12th or 13th century, i.e. it would have to have been preserved for a very long time.

The Château d'Augerville is an imposing building whose construction dates back to the 12th century. In 1976, it was registered on the list of historical monuments. Today, the castle has been completely transformed and offers a wide range of services: hotel and spa, restaurant, or even golf. If you don't have time to enjoy these, at least take the time to discover the beauty of these old stones.

The origins of this estate date back to the 13th century with the construction of a fortified castle on the banks of the Essonne. Fallen into ruin, it was bought in the 15th century by Jacques Coeur, great treasurer of King Charles VII who used to acquire the fiefdoms abandoned after the Hundred Years War to regroup them as he pleased. The general appearance of the buildings as we see them today comes from this period. But, falling into ruins at several times in history, the castle has lived, evolved and metamorphosed many times. It has remained a prestigious place and now houses a luxury hotel.

A surprising space in the middle of the forest of Fontainebleau, the sands of Cul de Chien originated 30 million years ago. At the time there was a warm ocean here that deposited quartz in its depths. Time doing its work, it disintegrated into sand, forming this beach in the middle of the woods. In addition to the surprising environment, the sands of Cul de Chien represent a mythical place in the history of climbing in Fontainebleau.
