just hanging out at some cathedrals and chateux in the loire valley...

chateau chambord

coffering and spiral staircase in the interior

so the story behind the rolling stone tongue (yes, your eyes didnt deceive you) is that mick jagger just bought a chateau in france, and its kind of a joke that he'll never come to this one. i didnt really get it. french humor.
