I walked through the vineyards as far as Roche Corbon, to the ruins of an old and very strong castle ((Probably the ruins of a castle of which only the tower remains – known  as the “La Lanterne de Rochecorbon” -GS)), said to have been built by the English, of great height, on the precipice of a dreadful cliff, from whence the country and river yield a most incomparable prospect.
