If the French can do it, so can I!
... sure loire.
We had a fab time, seeing all kinds of villages and getting very confident with driving the van. David has decided that he does not want to drive the van in the dark, so I ended up with the final charge - to find the campsite SHUT.............
So what would the French do?
Find a car park and settle down! So that's what we did. We went to the next town along which ...
Chambord and the Chateau
On Monday we undertook another pretty long drive – this time from San Sebastian in Spain through to the Loire Valley in France. This means that we are now about 200km short of Paris.
The Loire Valley is the home of many large French Chateaux. This is where French royalty have lived and played for centuries.

Just for something different we are off to visit another chateau - Chateau de Chaumont-Sur-Loire. I keep thinking not another one and they could not possibly be better than the last one but they just keep getting better. This one is a 15th century one set on the banks of the Loire River. The stables is ...
