Neglected castle, a photo from Centre, Central

Photographer's Note

Castle of Charbonniere
Construction began in October 1894. Until the war of 1914, it allows the Prot family, perfumers in Paris, to live pleasant moments in a sumptuous setting until 1946
The estate is home to the children's summer camp at Clichy-la-Garenne.
From 1974, the city of Orleans owns it. It has a large recreation center, which has been operating in the summer for many years.
Currently, the castle is hardly used. It is sometimes rented for weddings, family reunions. The 100-hectare park is open to the public and sometimes hot air balloons can take off.
This building requires restoration and the Town Hall does not take it into account

Bonjour Didi,
What a wonderful and grand castle with wonderful architecture and many appealing details and decorations. What a shame to learn that it needs restoration so badly. You captured it very well from a good POV and in a fine lighting.

Hello Didi,

Money is in short supply, particularly for councils, and sadly beautiful and socially important buildings are being seriously neglected!
We have a saying 'A stitch in time saves nine', meaning a little spent now would save lots needing to be spent in the future.
This is a very beautiful building, both in style and materials; but, it does occur to me, why in the late 19th - early 20th century, would anyone need to build a house as large as this, knowing how much its upkeep would demand!
You have done a fine job capturing so much in one shot, did you stitch more than one shot?

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello Didi,
The air of abandonment is self evident; such a pity because it is a very elegant building. Good almost symmetrical composition. Fine rendering of the colours and detailing. Perhaps, the municipality has no money to spend on things it does not consider important?

Bonjour, cher ami Didi,
L'idée de départ était bonne, les enfants pouvaient profiter un maximum des lieux et du parc (de quoi s'ébrouer dans la nature).
Hélas, le château risque de dépérir...
Belle mise en image.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Bonjour Didi
C'est très dommage qu'un superbe bâtiment soit laissé à l'abandon. Malheureusement il va se dégrader.
Merci pour cette belle image et bonne journée.

Bonjour Didi,

Les arbres cadrent bien le château. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du château de la Charbonnière. Le ciel nuageux donne un bon contraste aux couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Bonjour Didi,

The red facade of the neglected castle contrasts well with the blue sky. Good sharpness and lets hope the local council can find the cash for restoration works. Tfs!

Sergiom (117241) 2018-02-26 5:51

Bonjour Didi,

Il ne doit pas faire très beau sur Orléans pour que tu prennes du temps pour TE. Cela fait bien plaisir de te voir autrement que sur Facebook. Il a encore de la gueule même si il est négligé.

Amicalement

Serge

holmertz (102774) 2018-02-26 7:23

Hello Didi,
From this distance it's not so obvious that this castle needs restoration. It looks quite good to me. I like the slightly dark and intense tones of the colours and the fine sharpness.
Regards,
Gert

Olá, Didi!

É uma construção muito bonita, que após restaurada ficaria ainda mais bonita. As cores da foto estão boas e o céu tem um aspecto interessante.
Muito bom!

Hello dear, What a pity that such a splendid building is in such a bad state. Maybe they could make it a hotel, that would give some money for the renovation. wonderful architecture, splendid presetation. Even in a big picture all is very sharp and clear.

Have a nice day

Dobar dan.
Lep pogled, interesantan i dobar tekst ...
Lepo pokazano mesto i stara arhitektura, dobar kontrast i ostrina, lepe boje, lepo uhvacen trenutak sa oblacima koji dolaze sa kisom. Lepa fasada i detalji, lepi krovovi i dimnjaci, lep dvorac.
Zelim vam lep i uspesan dan, sve najbolje.
Paja.

Good day.
Nice view, interesting and good text ...
A beautifully displayed place and old architecture, good contrast and sharpness, nice colors, a beautifully captured moment with clouds that come with rain. Nice façade and details, nice roofs and chimneys, nice castle.

Hello, Didi!

The castle is so beautiful, it's a shame to read that they are not taking good care of that! Very nice architecture, captured with very good colors and sharpness! Wonderful composition!

lucasgalodoido (27698) 2018-03-08 11:40

Olá Didi,
um castelo muito bonito esse mesmo, com cores interessantes e um forte contraste entre elas. Gostei do céu mais carregado também. Belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço,
Lucas

maloutim (13617) 2018-03-18 11:09

Magnifique chateau que tu as si bien capturé sous les nuages menaçants, comme s'ils étaient là pour attester de son déclin !
Photo très nette qui rend bien compte des détails de l'architecture . La couleur rouge de la brique contraste bien avec le vert de la végétation.
Eh oui ! Il y a en France des milliers de ces bâtisses qui se dégradent petit-à-petit et que personne ne se décide à restaurer faute d'argent ou de motivation...
Merci du partage quoiqu'il en soit.
Amitiés.
Marie-Louise.
