Last week's hauntings included a tour of Tours and Chinon.
"Passage of the Regretful Heart "
A name may catch your attention - how quaint? I learned long ago that there is usually a story behind such things. These walls might have many a tale to tell - and not as romantic as we are inclined to think when we see the word heart. Those sentenced to death took this dark passage on the way to the pillory or gallows located at the place Foire-le-Roi of Tours. Adding torment to torture, this long and narrow passage is more oppressive than Venice's Bridge of Sighs.

Such beautiful architecture. I am glad though, that I did not live then as it seems people were killed for small infractions. Hope no one lives around that passage. It would scare me.
