Roofer's Nightmare!
Montluçon 03100 Fr. It's quite a stiff climb up to the château, but once arrived, there is a good view over the old town, and a chance to look at some historic roofing at close quarters. I guess most of these buildings were built at least three hundred years ago, if not more, so they have been well cared for, but because they are so close to each other, repair work on the roofs must represent a real challenge.
Nonetheless, they all have fairly modern clay tiles which have replaced the original "bardeaux" - wooden tiles made from split chestnut or oak, and because the clay tiles are much heavier than the original, they have probably had the rafters and battens replaced also, so much respect for the roofers of Montluçon !!
1983 Nikon L35AF, f2.8/35mm Nikon lens, x2 yellow filter. Kodak TMY400 in PC-Glycol, 9 mins @21C.
Scanned @2400dpi on Epson V500

Mikeinlagardette has replied to giovanegianAlthough Montluçon is not very high altitude, it is on the western slopes of the Massif Central, where the moisture laden air from the west meets the cold air from the higher slopes - ergo - lots of snow!
Ciao, Mike
