Drive-By Chateaux-Shootings

So we think that in our previous travels we have covered the basic chateaux of the Loire. Our slides from 79, 86, 89, 93, and so on, would suggest so. We visited or revisited a few more, as subsequent posts will show. But for some, we just took pix as we drove by.

Ditto; well, a keep, that is, a partial chateau; notice it's a really BIG river















Saumur














Montsoreau














Part of Chinon


















More of Chinon














Still more of Chinon














Vicki at Rigny-Usse, one of the fewer than 10,000 European castles said to have
been the inspiration for Minnie Mouse's castle














Azy Le Rideau; in whose aire we camped like true Europeans, occupying the
last square mm of space

And, one of the better ghost-sign assemblages around

I have been on the road, to Northern Missouri with Diana, then on to Chicago to haul wedding gifts to Cara, so am behind in reading your blog. I love all the chateaus, though. We saw all of these last summer. I am sure that I lived in one of them in a past life!
