A landscape photographer, even contemplative, Christian Thibaud is constantly looking for those rare and privileged moments when all the elements combine harmoniously to obtain a beautiful image.
Her quest is for light, the beautiful light, the one that transforms sometimes ordinary places into magical moments.
These are moments where photographer and nature enter into harmony, moments of beauty and fullness that Christian Thibaud transcribes through his photographs.
These photographs were taken in the light of the coasts and lands of Charente, Vendée, Brittany and Normandy. They are part of this quest for moments of peaceful beauty.
An invitation to dream, an invitation to walk between Earth and Sea of Light…

About the location

Château d'Ardelay

Rue du Donjon, 85500 LES HERBIERS

Vendée
Pays de la Loire

Built in the 15th century, the Ardelay Castle would have its origins in the 10th century with the elevation of a feudal motte. With its imposing 30m high keep, moat and shooting chamber, it is a typical example of the medieval defensive architecture of the region. Despite its classification in the additional inventory of Historical Monuments in 1927, the castle, which became uninhabited, falls into ruins. The purchase in 1984 by the Ville des Herbiers saved him from destruction: archaeological excavations and restoration campaigns followed until 1987\. Today, the building is dedicated to hosting several exhibitions a year, proposed by the Ville des Herbiers as part of its cultural programming. Guided tours of the castle in July/August and as part of the Heritage Days.
