Music night on the river. Rock group playing next to our boat. We listened for awhile and then strolled thru town and up the hills to a church. All the teenagers were out for a hot night on the town!Baca lagi
Be safe, my friends. The world got a lot more dangerous tonight. [Laurie]

This is a striking nighttime capture of the Château du Prieuré, also known as the Donjon de Conflans, dramatically illuminated above the rooftops of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a town northwest of Paris at the confluence of the Seine and Oise rivers. Notable elements: • The Donjon, or keep, dates from the 11th or 12th century and is part of the remnants of a medieval fortress that once dominated the area. • The scene in the foreground suggests a bustling festival or concert on the waterfront—bright lights, tents, and a large crowd gathered along the quay. • The purple lighting and streamers give the event a festive atmosphere, while the orange floodlights on the Donjon contrast beautifully against the dark sky. Conflans is known as the capital of French inland waterway navigation, and events here often celebrate its maritime heritage. If this was around mid-June, it could be part of Fête de la Musique or a similar summer festival.

This elegant and ornate building in your photo is the Château du Prieuré, located in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, France. You previously shared an image of the Donjon de Conflans—this is the adjoining structure, often referred to simply as Le Prieuré (The Priory). A bit more context: • The Château du Prieuré was originally part of a Benedictine priory founded in the 9th century. • The building you photographed is the 19th-century reconstruction, which now houses the Musée de la Batellerie et des Voies Navigables (Museum of Inland Waterways and River Navigation), celebrating Conflans’ long-standing relationship with the Seine and river trade. • The Neo-Renaissance architectural style is evident in the ornate carvings, pilasters, and round-arched windows with decorative pediments and sculptural elements. The way the sunset light hits the stone adds a beautiful warm glow to this already majestic structure.
