About this postcard

A long, cream-colored château with steep slate roofs, dormers and corner turrets stands on a wooded rise, viewed across a still pond carpeted with lily pads that mirror the building and the trees. Dense green foliage frames the scene on both sides, with a grassy slope and a single blossoming tree in the middle distance under a cloud-filled sky. The architecture is in the French Renaissance château manner, but the card carries no printed caption, so the specific building and location cannot be confirmed from the scan.
