Aiming to head south through Le Mans we savoured the journey towards Tours on the intricate D roads that connect the two key cities of this region….enjoying the views of apple / cider farms, the
Charolais bullls/cows and the wonderful tree lined roads that make this such a special part of France. Before eventually crossing the magnificent Loire river and arriving at Villandry…. past rows of troglodyte caves and into the perfectly situated aire close to the chateau… With little to do before the evening’s entertainment, we worked together to learn more about Bastille Day, grabbed a croissant (or two) from the local boulangerie and ventured out into the village to enjoy the outdoor BBQ, live music and fireworks display… Just brilliant and a wonderful memory of France to take away from this European Adventure!!
