Friday morning we took the coach to Onan for repairs on the generator. They found a loose wire so we were in and out in an hour. On the drive home I took pictures of two houses with interesting architecture that I had not gotten good pictures of before.
It is really clear here today. This is a picture looking out from near the campground at the rocks in the water.
This is a picture of Noel au Chateau in the daytime.
Here is the gingerbread house.
The castle was inspired by the Neuschwanstein castle. It was built in 1967.
Here are two little boys inspecting the Santa sculpture at the entrance to the castle.
Theses are some of the gardens on the grounds.
This is the back patio area. Most of the back area is closed off because it took too many people to monitor and it wasn’t justified by the amount of money that was brought in.
This is one of the soldiers guarding the gift shop.
This whale is on the area that is still open to the public.
These gardens are also open with the nativity at the top.
The gift shop is a huge Christmas store. There are every kind of decoration that you can think of. There is a section of Santas, Nativity scenes, angels, elves, stockings, ornaments, and the largest selection of Christmas scene houses that I have ever seen.
I bought a ticket to go into the house and they had the largest layout of Christmas scenes/towns that I have ever seen. Wayne’s mother, Brooksy, would have loved it as would Irma and Nola.
This was the elves bedroom. The tiny beds are against the back wall.
There was an almost life size Filipino nativity scene in the foyer that was beautiful.
And there were two walls covered with nativity scenes from many different countries.
There was also a Tree of Wishes with bags from all of the prominent French designers.
Since I was the only one on the tour the guide spoke to me in English. Tomorrow we leave for Levis, QC across the river from Old Quebec.
