The Château du Rivau is a castle-palace from the 13th. century, located in Lémeré.
It was given to captain Tolmere as a reward for his victories in the Picrocholean Wars.
In 1429, towards the end of the Hundred Years' War, before the siege of Orleans, Joan of Arc and her followers came to fetch horses at Le Rivau, already renowned for the quality of its equipage and war horses who were raised there. In 1510 François de Beauvau, captain of King Francis I of France, constructed the monumental stables, in the outbuildings' courtyard, that supplied royal stallions. Those stables became the royal stables of Henri III and housed his stallions.

I like that there are different strong subjects demanding attention in the frame, yet the castle takes the center focus. It is the king and the rest of the items in the landscape are it's worthy servants.
