Loire Valley Chateau Tour



We went to the Musee d'Orsey - impressionist gallery. It held works from Renoir, Picasso and Monet. The art was beautiful and we spent many minutes staring at each painting.
We went on an organised tour of the Loire Valley and 3 of its most beautiful Chateau's.
Chambord - Famous for its spiral staircase, castle like on massive grounds.
Chenonceau - My favourite, built on a river, beautiful gardens with maze and tree lined entry
Cheverny - Noble family still live there, more modern the the other two, it had heaps of bloodhounds (at least 60) as the owner likes to hunt, massive green gardens surround the house. As a treat we stopped at a french winery and had a tasting of 6 french wines including white, rose and red. All were very nice and made the trip home fly!!
