Le Chateau de Seisset


I had a morning big ride today that passed through Clumanc. Clumanc is a commune but isn't really a village, it's more a collection of several hamlets, farms and isolated buildings. One of those buildings is the Chateau de Seisset (there is also a Ferme de Seisset) . It's an impressive building but more like a bastide than a chateau and it only seems to be occupied for a few weeks in the summer.

The amusing thing is that someone has decided the whole idea of chateaux isn't republican enough ("we didn't fight a revolution to have castles..."). So this someone puts up sticky tape to hide the "Chateau de" from the signpost put up by the commune. Every now and again it gets removed but a few days later, it's back again.
