Day 170 - The Gardens of Villandry - 196 to go.
I didn't realise how demanding a daily post would be, even though it was just a photo. I really don't know how many photos we have from five trips to France but surely it wouldn't be too hard to post one daily. However each one does bring back special memories. Currently we are still in the Loire during our 2008 trip, our first time to the region. In the short space of time while staying in Chinon we saw the Chateaux of Chenonceau, Usse and Villandry. I promise no more Chateau pictures from here on.

Day 164 - Chateaux of the Loire Chenonceau - 202 to go
Chenonceau is one of those "have to see"Chateaux of the Loire". As you walk towards it, a feeling of opulence surrounds you.
The most popular photograph of Chenonceau would be of the arches across the river but I found the long passage above thos arches equally impressive. This is a place where balls and feasts were held and during WWII, the resistance would find a safe passage from the enemy.
But most of all it was the kitchen that impressed my wife Sue.
