The Loire Valley and especially Blois
We drove to Valençay today to cycle to château de Bouges, about twenty kilometers away, in the hope of getting a cycle map at the tourist office. They didn’t have one so we devised a loop ourselves. This is actually the last photo of the day because we started off with an overcast sky. We …

This is a view of Château de Montpoupon that most people don’t see – it’s usually the one in the second photo. However the bike route gives you the first view. Another advantage of cycling! Peu de personnes voient le château de Montpoupon de cet angle – la deuxième vue est beaucoup plus connue. Mais …
I love seeing chateaux such as this one from the bike path. J’adore voir des châteaux comme celui-ci sur la piste cyclable.

The Cher is the river spanned by Chateau de Chenonceau and we discovered today that the cycle paths between Chissay and Azay-sur-Cher have been immensely improved. …

Nous visitons toujours le château de Chaumont à partir du parking en haut. Aujourd’hui j’ai voulu prendre l’entrée en bas et voici ma récompense …
We were having a break on the cycle path between Château de Chaumont and Candé sur Beuvron today, admiring the poplars when this cyclist rode past. Nous faisions une pause sur la piste cyclable aujourd’hui entre château de Chaumont et Candé sur Beuvron, en admirant les peupliers lorsque ce cycliste est passé.
We’ve been watching this pond at Château de Chaumont change with the seasons and the weather. I love the deep blue colour. Masks were made compulsory in the centre of Blois today, more as a precaution than anything else. I think it was a good move. Nous suivons l’évolution de cet étang au château de …
It seems that Loire Daily Photo has been hacked. My apologizes for the websites you are seeing when you try to comment. My IT son is working on it and I will let you know when the problem is solved. This container is on the bike route from Candé-sur-Beuvron to Château de Chaumont. Il semble …
