A day in Chinon

What a treat - our favourite place so far.
Below shows the shop where I have picked up a few small treasures. The quality of the traders in this small town is amazing. We spent so long wandering about that we didn't even get to the fortress. So that is for another day.


On the approaches to the town, which is on the Loire.....





At one of the 'caves' - cellar doors, in town, buying wine


Some shots of the town

Le chat sur le toit

A glass of the local (very dry and good) rosé

Had a couple of those and bought a few to bring back to Jarzé

Then in the next village....

The chrysanthemum fairy strikes again.

  2. I know your 'small treasures' having been hunting alongside. Wishing I was there even more this morning. Thank the chrysanthemum fairy for me please.
    ...I made a few boo-boos before and dare not tarnish the beautiful Frog Blog.
