I photographed it today outside Le Grand Monarque Hotel at Azay-le-Rideau. With Colin, at six foot tall, standing next to it you can appreciate the scale.
It's gnarled trunk was enormous, as you can see below...
Colin placed his hand against a branch to give an indication of it's girth.
I've photographed some wisteria in my time but never one quite this size!!
*Footnote: Just in case you're wondering, the world's largest known Wisteria vine is in Sierra Madre, California, measuring more than 1 acre in size and weighing 250 tons.

My goodness, that's huge! I wouldn't want to trim that every year.
