The Loire Valley

We started our trip in the ancient town of Tours.

Our first stop on the chateaux route was Chenanceux.

But first we passed through beautiful fields of lavender, sunflowers, and vineyards.

Chenanceaux had a gorgeous chapel.

And beautiful interiors.

And lots of copper pots.

And lots and lots of Flemish tapestries.

It's nestled over the river.

And -- it is gorgeous!

And the small town it's located in oozes cuteness.

Small Town of Chenanceaux

There really is lavender everywhere!

Happy to be training in the Loire Valley

and

Happier to be arriving in Amboise!

Leonarda da Vinci is buried in the Chapel at Amboise Chateau.

Just Chillin' at Beautiful Amboise

Isn't it stunning?

And the town was so charming, too!

We had these amazing crepes for lunch. Yum!

And found some fabulous chocolates for dessert.
