Corbel sculpture with oversized ears, a reminder of possible surveillance ('the walls have ears'), in the Salle des Etats or State Room, where the king and his council met, in the Charles VIII wing of the Chateau d'Amboise, a medieval castle which became a royal residence in the 15th century and was largely reworked in the 15th and 16th centuries, on the River Loire, at Amboise, Indre-et-Loire, Centre, France. The chateau was rebuilt as a Gothic palace under Charles VIII and Renaissance and Italianate additions were installed under Francois I and Henri II. It is listed as a historic monument and is part of the Loire Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
