They cancelled The Serpent Queen and I am so fucking mad!!

I'm french and guess where do I live? In the Loire Valley!! My hometown, Vendôme, is where The House of Bourbon (the one we see in the show) is from. Their full name is actually de Bourdon-Vendôme, because there are three different branches and if we only mention "Bourbon", it's kind of confusing because we don't know which branch we speak of and Bourbon-Vendôme is the one Henri IV is from. Which means, the character that we see in the show lived in the castle located next to my elementary school! I was young but I can still see and hear my teacher telling my class "This castle next to us was a big deal.". Henri IV didn't live here but he came a few times, especially when his mother, Jeanne d'Albret, died and was buried here (along with Antoine and their first born son (and Louis, Antoine's brother)). So when Jeanne died in the show, in the story, they technically should have been in my hometown (and Antoine and Louis should have been already dead lol). Same as when Antoine and Louis went back home to their dads. François I, François II, Marie Stuart, Charles IX and Catherine came here. Sadly, the castle is just ruins now... But it makes me sad that they never mentioned the name of the town once. Even Reign mentioned it. I mean, everyone knows that Reign was more fiction than facts but still, they mentioned Vendôme in one of the latest episodes of the show and it's still one of my proudest moment 🥹

Since I live in Vendôme, it means that I live 30 min away from le Château de Chambord, where they filmed most of the show. I love going there whenever I can but sadly, I never got the chance to go there when they were filming... 💔 It was weird and funny to see how they edited the outsides of the castle. Some editing didn't make any sense but I get it. Also, the big gardens are from a completely different castle located in Villandry. So it was weird to see Chambord edited in the background. And it didn't make any sense when we would see Chambord fully and the gardens weren't there, haha.

Also, le Château d'Amboise was used two times and they kinda disrespected it 😅 I'm not entirely serious when I say this but I kinda I am. The first time is in the season one finale, when Mary "arrives" in Scotland. The second that I saw the location I said "Oh, Amboise" and then I saw the ocean next to it and realised that it was supposed to be Scotland 😭 The second time was in season two when Catherine visits Diane (who is still pretty young and most importantly, miraculously still alive in 1572 😭). When Diane and Catherine talk we discover that they are in "Anet" (where she died in 1566). I was so happy when they mentioned where they were in the story but I was like "but, but, it's Amboise, guys 😭". It's funny and confusing for me because I know those castles but it's perfectly fine for an audience who has no clue. Also, le Château d'Anet is a private property, so I don't know if they would have allowed the show to come and filmed there, but also I've seen a documentary a few months ago and the owner seems very sweet, so I don't know. They also used Amboise, the town, to be Paris, where Catherine's brother was supposed to build le Palais des Tuileries.

And last but not least, I wanna talk about Blois (20 min away from me, next to Chambord) Oooh, Blois is probably my biggest heartbreak from that show. In season one, it made sense to be in Chambord because this castle was François I's baby but he lived there for only a month. Henri II didn't live there but kept the constructions going. When Henri II died, François II didn't live there. Charles IX didn't live there either but just like his father before him, he kept the constructions going and consolidated it. Henri III and Henri IV didn't live there and didn't do anything to it (it's such an Anjou and Henri behavior if you ask me haha). But if Henri II, François II, Charles IX and Henri III didn't live there, then where did they live, you ask?! Well, they lived in BLOIS. Which means that the whole show should have been happening in le Château de Blois, not Chambord. Y'all have no idea how excited I was when I heard that season 2 was filming in Blois. I thought, finally, they are going to aknowledge the most important castle of the Valois! I mean they actually all lived there and this is where Catherine died!! When I say that that castle is important to the Valois' story, it's because it is. Do I need to tell you how disappointed I was when I saw season 2 last week? A) I was expecting multiple scenes in the castle and well, that didn't happen. B) I had to wait the very last episode to see what they filmed there. C) THEY DIDN'T EVEN FILMED IN THE CASTLE!!! We see all the Protestants walking across the bridge, we see a few streets that I'm not even sure if it's actually Blois and then we see the castle, in the background, behind all the protestants who are looking at a cathedral that is not even located there. THEY EDITED THE CATHEDRAL OF TOURS IN BLOIS 😭 It's not fair. Honestly, all the editing stuff didn't really bother me. I understand that they did whatever they needed to for the aesthetic of the show. But not mentioning once the name of the town that was important to the true Valois Kings and Queens is something that I truly don't understand.

The show is about the French history, is filmed in France and guess what? We had NO WHERE TO WATCH IT IN FRANCE. The show arrived like a week ago on Max and it's been n°5 in the top 10 since then. French people want to see their country in a show and support it, we have the proof and THEY CANCEL IT?! I am so upset. They could have give it a third and last season to wrap it up. Season 2 was so much better than season 1. The Valois siblings did bring so much more depth, especially Anjou.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I'M LOSING KING ANJOU. The potential that he had was insane.

Okay, I'm gonna shut up now and cry about it 😭

Château Royal d'Amboise & Drinks in Dijon

(Entry by Lachlan)

Before leaving Amboise we had to go to another Bryant childhood site which was Amboise Castle. I remember loving it and I am still awed by its imposing size and sheer walls. Compared to Chenonceau it is a more medieval defensive castle, with room for horses to ride down, sheer walls, and an expansive view of the river and surroundings. I can’t suppress the childlike glee I still get from places like this. On the way down we popped past a shop Alex and I bought swords in as kids - for an imaginative child having a ‘real’ sword to fight with was pure joy. Though going in now I realise the shop is super touristy and full of dull plastic toys; I love that back then I didn’t notice and thought it a treasure trove and castle arsenal.

(Entry by Elena)

After Amboise castle we hopped in the car for the 4.5 hour trip to Dijon. It was a lovely drive past sunflowers fields and crazy french people driving AT LEAST 150 kmph. We arrived in Dijon and were immediately charmed. It is such a beautiful city and we are so lucky to be staying in the cutest Airbnb in the middle of the old town. The city has an amazingly rich history and is one of the oldest cities in France. We spent the afternoon walking around and ended up finding the most amazing steakhouse, so we all got faux filet de boeuf et frites (steak & fries) and had some delicious wine. After dinner Lachlan and I wandered through the city and found a little bar to have some drinks. It was pretty empty when we got there but by 10pm it was loud and full of students from the University of Burgundy smoking and playing darts. There was also a gig going on in the basement of the bar which was cool. All in all a great first night in Dijon; we love it here.

When Leonardo da Vinci Died

Leonardo da Vinci – a name that reverberates through the corridors of history, embodying the spirit of the Renaissance and the insatiable curiosity that propelled that era of discovery. Known as a polymath, Leonardo was an accomplished painter, architect, scientist, inventor, and a fervent student of life. His influence on the world continued long after his death on May 2, 1519. This blog will delve into Leonardo's final years, his death, and the profound legacy he left behind.

The Final Years:

In the last few years of his life, Leonardo da Vinci left Italy, the country of his birth and where he achieved his greatest successes. He accepted an invitation from Francis I, the King of France, and moved to Amboise, a small town in the Loire Valley. The King provided Leonardo with the manor house, Clos Lucé, near his own grand castle, Château d'Amboise, where Leonardo was to live and work.

Here, Leonardo was free to pursue his diverse interests, from painting to studying nature, exploring mechanical devices, and pondering architectural problems. His health, however, began to decline, and by 1517 he was suffering from paralysis of the right hand, possibly due to a stroke, which affected his ability to paint but not his capacity for drawing or teaching.

Leonardo's Death:

Leonardo da Vinci died on May 2, 1519, at Clos Lucé. He was 67 years old, a relatively advanced age for the 16th century. Some accounts report that King Francis I was at his side when he died, reflecting the deep bond of respect and friendship they had cultivated.

The exact cause of Leonardo's death remains uncertain. Some scholars speculate it might have been the result of chronic conditions such as heart disease or stroke, but without definitive historical records, it remains a topic of discussion among researchers.

The Enduring Legacy:

Despite Leonardo's death, his influence did not fade. His significant artistic contributions, like the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper," are considered among the most famous and influential paintings in Western art history. His countless sketches and notes demonstrate a mind constantly at work, exploring and documenting everything from human anatomy to engineering principles, from the flight of birds to the ebb and flow of rivers.

Leonardo's observations, concepts, and inventions were so ahead of his time that some of his ideas, such as designs for a flying machine, could only be realized with technology that wasn't available until centuries later.

Leonardo da Vinci's holistic approach to art and science, his acute observational skills, and his boundless curiosity about the natural world have left a profound impact on human culture and knowledge. He exemplifies the Renaissance humanist ideal, and his legacy continues to inspire and ignite the creative spark in others.

Step into the enchanting world of Renaissance art with an exquisite painting by Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci's painting works, renowned for their intricate details and pioneering techniques, have captivating audiences for centuries. Experience the beauty of his unmatched creativity and witness the depth of human emotion captured on canvas. With a Da Vinci, you're not just purchasing a painting, you're becoming a part of a timeless legacy of art and innovation
