After a 350km+ drive south (would have been less if the GPS didn't continually guide us in circles between two road blocks due to the floods) we ended up in sunny Valleres in a magnificent cottage in the yard of a couple of retired teachers.
What a delightful place to stay. We checked out the Loire valley - the land of the chateau. The gardens of the Villandry Chateau were majestic - precisely set up and beautifully maintained.
There were stacks of mint varieties in their garden including a chocolate mint and it smelt just like one of those Red Tulip After Dinner mints.
The medieval Chateau Usse (sleeping beauty castle) was enchanting - just like something straight out of a fairy tale.
Here's our workhorse, the manual diesel 308 - Eccy-thump (that's how I remember its rego)
