In August we spent a week in the Loire Valley. We stayed in Blois and visited the chateaux
Chambord and
Cheverny. Then we caught the train to Tours and visited
Amboise, Azay-le-Rideau,
Chenonceau, Chinon, Clos Lucé and
Villandry. The chateaux were stunning,
the towns were picturesque and we enjoyed the wine tasting too!

The Chateaux
Each one was different. Some were castles depicting a history of bloody
battles, some were splendid residential palaces and others were more modest
manor houses.
