[feyss]

Great pictures 

The castle looks perfectly located on that small hill and also, nice use of this railway bridge on the last update 

[Kergelen]

Congrats 

Great teaser. I missed the last update and is really nice.

[Gugu3]

Awesome!

Congratulations for OSITM! Nice teaser, looking to see more! But according to the previous update, the bridge looks awesome! However, it's other end is not visible and that cause an appearance that it was build only for this lake (with a lot of space around not to cross this "canyon"... Hope it's not the truth

[belfastsocrates]

Superb teaser images. Really looking forward to see more.

Really enjoyed the bridge scene!

The vineyards of Frontenac

part I - Chateau Frontenac

The mountain chain Frontenac is located on the shores of Lac de Biganos ..




..on a rocky cliff lies the imposing Chateau Frontenac, numerous myths and legends entwined around the historic building ..




..built by Earl of Frontenac-Québec (1622-1698). The Chateau dominates the Biganos plains and is a popular destination for tourists.


The Chateau is today in possession of the princely foundation of Rondnoir ...


One of the massive towers ..


The large Gatetower


The small tavern in the midst of
picturesque vineyards..the cable car connects the mountain and the lakeshore.




The small chapel of St. Mark (1805), built by the winemakers family Québec ..


..the family farmed in 5th generation the old vineyards ...







And in Part II, I'll show you the cable car ...




... and the campsite on Lac de Biganos.

This is really cool! The Castle fits perfectly in a rural environment.

[feyss]

Great pictures for your comeback 

I especially like the paths in the fields and the cable car 

[Girafe]

Good job with these scenes, I love the use of the cablecar 

[Gugu3]

This is an impressive update &aplsThe rural scenes are just amazing and so is the castle!I am a big fan of cable cars

[kbieniu7]

Well, that's a truly amazing update! The amount of details is mindblowing.
The castle, its location on that hill, the historical remainings, surrounding vineyards, all of them fit together perfectly and create a fantastic touch of the past!

[Vizoria]

What a great castle! Amazing work with the MMPs and the lotting!

[vortext]

Excellent update, the vineyards are superb! 

Also, I didn't know Chateau Frontenac was a real place so it was quite a surprise to see RL pictures of it. Though bit disappointing to learn it's not actually a proper castle.

Looking forward to next update, can I already reserve a spot on Lac de Biganos?!

That's pretty neat! Is it just me, or does that gondola really go up much of an incline?

[Girafe]

Superb, as always 

[Ernestmaxis]

Wooow that is truly amazing! The detail is enormous. 
The grey paths your using were they from of did you made them yourself? 

[art128]

Splendid! The level of detail is as always quite high. I would only suggest changing the tower base texture so it fits the rock path.

[Unconstantean]

wow, just wow 

[Kergelen]

Fantastic detailed work as always
