Medieval tales supply the fairy world that unfolds through Chinon’s royal fortress. A walking route reveals creatures hidden in the décor, an imagined forest, a cradle under watch and a table laid for celebration. Photographs of the Cottingley Fairies add a different kind of enchantment, bringing questions of belief and illusion into the encounter with these elusive beings.
Chinon’s Fairy Worlds at the Royal Fortress
Medieval fairy tales shape a festive route at Chinon, with woodland scenes and Cottingley fairy photographs blurring the boundary between belief and illusion.
