I was in the Loire-et-Cher region a couple of weeks back and photography was allowed in nearly all the locations we visited. In the places which did have signs up saying "No photography" no one was taking any notice at all, not even the staff. In addition I had the Mairies open up the churches to record medieval frescoes, monuments, baptismal fonts, stained glass, paintings, stone carvings, etc. No problem at all. Most of them seemed genuinely pleased that someone was taking an interest. In a couple of places, as I was finishing a local dignitary would turn up to point out something I might have missed. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
