Toussaint Holiday Weekend

We spent All Saints Day holiday weekend touring the area between La Mans and Tours ( a two hour drive south west of Paris). Below are a few photos. I'll write more later...

Chateau Bezonnais - we stayed in one of their three gites (guest houses).

The weather was not very pleasant during our stay.
It hailed within the first 15 minutes of our arrival.
The entrance of Chateau Bezonnais.

Thomas now wants a house with a moat...

Chateau Bezonnais had a lovely formal garden.

And lots of animals roaming around.

Scout was quite taken by the swans.

Chateau de Lude - northern most Loire Valley Chateau 



Eglise Saint-Vincent.  One of the many historic churches in the area.
Constructed at the end of the 11th century.

Area is also known for its wines. 

Many of the former quarries are now wine caves.

L'église de Poncé.  Twelfth century Romanesque Church.

Fresco's in the interieur of the church were discovered in 1883.
