Chenonceaux
According to our slides from the 70s and 80s, I've seen Chenonceaux twice, which is enough for me. It was not enough for Vicki, so she saw it by herself and took the following pix.
Villandry Chateau Gardens
Our next stop, 5 km away, was Villandry Chateau and especially its notable Renaissance gardens...
Langeais Outtakes

| Vicki demonstrates here conclusively that people were shorter in the Middle Ages |
 |
| Graffiti in the tower...1558, right? |
 |
| Spooky graffiti |
 |
| And behind this door, descending the tower |
 |
| A grizzly bear |
 |
| Medieval water pump |
 |
| Me in knightly costume; this was to be part of a movie for Penelope; Vicki has since learned the difference beteween on and off on this camera |
Langeais Chateau
We visited Langeais Chateau largely for the interior furnishings, late Medieval and Renaissance, to fit the chateau's hey-day. It was most impressive, particularly the 15th and 16th century tapestries. For now--I'm way behind--I'll just let the photos speak for themselves.
