A super lovely place to end our holiday!

We stayed at the Chateau for two nights in September of 2018 and the experience was lovely. La Pommeraye is a beautiful French Manor house, out in the Swiss Normandy countryside. The decoration of the house was stunning with art work comfort. The owner was a great host and you got a feeling of being his guest instead of being in a hotel. Very recommended, peaceful luxury, you will not regret it!

We stayed at this exquisite property for three nights. The accommodations and the architecture were exquisite; the service was impeccable, and the food warranted the highest Michelin rating. Proprietor and gourmand chef, Alexandre Boudnikoff, made our time there one of the best experiences we have ever had anywhere in the world and we would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a refined experience in a serene country setting.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
