Lovely image. I'm traveling in November. What time of year does the milky way look like this over Amboise? I can't find this orientation using the PhotoPills App. Can you help? Is it a composite?

@David Gutierrez a milky way arch, flat like on the picture, should only be possible somewhere between February and June. Even though Amboise is further south than I live you should not be able to see the milky way center, as shown in the picture, in central France in November. The castles in France are frequently lighted up at night with sodium vapor lamps, not well suited for milky way photography. To have a milky way arch like this over a major city would be an extremely challenging endeaver and either involve a star tracker or advanced Photoshop skills.
