Searching for the Green Lady in the Loire Valley, France
“If I find it, he’ll believe me. They’ve told him lies. I am as good as dead if he believes them. I must find it. Where is it? Mon dieu, he is here.” La dame verte is said to look for something, something she never finds, in the oldest corridors of this castle. Her jealous husband stabbed her to death and took off—that part’s true. Someday, I’m going to splurge and stay at the hotel overnight and help her find what she’s looking for. Short of that, it’s still a good castle tour. They call Château Brissac, “the giant," due to its unusually tall seven stories. They should call it “the big ugly one.” But charming-ugly. It’s the Lyle Lovett of the Loire.
