Suffering severe 'France Withdrawal' symptoms and wishing I was heading back this year. Looks like it will be late 2018 or 2019 whenever.
However, was looking back over some of my photos from our June 2017 trip and noticed by chance this inscription on top stone of the tower portion of a building in Chablis.
I can make out the date as either 1585 or 1685, but the wording is not quite so clear.
I think it says: This Tower here(?) [possibly] made (Fait?) and then a quite clear word....GOMACE, the 26 July(?) 15(or 6)85.
What is GOMACE......possibly a person?
Does anyone have any thoughts on this inscription, or know of where I could enquire further.
Would appreciate any input please.
I hope those of you off to France this Summer/Fall have a wonderful time.
Regards Greg
