As a finale to our Loire experience the tour took us through country lanes to Chenonceaux for one of the most photographed castles. The experience of walking up a line of trees until the chateau and it's gardens appear is wonderful. The place is superbly cared for and has an interior just as incredible as the exterior. Now that we have become experts in the affairs of the French nobility, we could dispense with any guidance. Mick has been able to add has own brand of commentary. "Make it up Mick".
After lunch we made the long trek south into Aquitaine where the weather warmed and the landscape changed. A tired and hungry Pelaton found welcome sanctuary on our petit chateau. Etho's have the party wing with four rooms and two TV's ...... And a huge collection of Cognac to try at the bar! Fabulous dinner in the dining room followed.
Morning sprint has been cancelled.
