The Castle of Pignerolle

Dear Friends
if you visit Brittany (FR) don't miss the occasion to visit the Castle of Pignerolle (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_de_Pignerolle) at Saint Barthelemy D'Angiou (Angers - France) and its parc. The Castle is interesting for its light and symbolic architecture and for its recent history: during the WW II, on 1939-1940 it hosted the Polish Republic Presidency in exhil and after, during the period of the Occupation of France, the Commanding Post of the German U-Bootes engaged in the Atlantic Battle. Now the Castle hosts the interesting Museé de la Comunication (http://www.musee-communication.com/) and an, unfortunately, closed dependance the Musée de la Technique. The parc of the Castle, for many aspects similar to the Englisher Garten here in Munich, hosts mainly continental trees as well as German blockhouses of the WW II. The images give you an impression of the Castle and its parc. Any comment from your side is welcomed.
Salutations
Giancarlo
