As I said, tres froid. In fact, we were both so unprepared for the wind, we each had to go to the local supermarket and buy a fleece sweater. Nonetheless, we had a great day, visiting the local city’s castle in the morning and going on a wine tour in the afternoon. Laid back, but lovely.

Tomorrow, we’re off to Chenonceau, where there is even larger and more impressive chateaux. Can’t wait!

A cold and windy Wednesday

What a great evening and Tuesday! We had a fabulous meal last night thanks to our hosts, and today we managed to see three chateaux (one just from a distance as we’d heard it was all Disneyfied inside), have a fantastic lunch, visit a caveau for a mini wine tasting and go out for some authentic Italian pizza.

Sheena and I are pooped. Tomorrow we’ve got a winery tour lined up and we’re going to wander around Chinon some in the morning. Can’t wait!

 

 

 

The above were from last night’s walk in the neighborhood, then dinner ( check out the cheese selection and the homemade apple pie!) …Ā  the following are from today.

See you tomorrow!
