A couple of hours drive further north and we hit the magnificent Loire Valley. Chateaus, vineyards, great food, decadent gardens, wonderful weather... what more can you ask for? Although we only have two days here, we want to make the most of it. We are blown away by the enormity of the chateau at Chombard and the genius behind Chateau Chinnonceau which is built over a river! We go between delightful meals and visiting these enormous palaces of which they say there are 57 in the region! Our favourite meal is set in a garden behind one of these gorgeous palaces, where we devour a gaspachio of melon with prosciutto and foi gras mousse! It’s a tough life.
We promise ourselves that we’ll be back one day with our bikes and camping gear... it’s a perfect place to do a bike tour!
