France

Walked around the lake this morning and debated where to go. Ended up here and very pleasant it is. Nearly had an accident when a large load truck decided he didn’t have to give way at a roundabout.

Bike ride into Chartres to view the impressive cathedral. A funeral was held during part of our visit, quite strange. Kay took us out of Chartres and to a grassy pitch by a lake for a relaxing afternoon.

Had a wander around Châteaudun this morning, very nice town. Pretty much straight drive to Chartres. Waiting for the thunderstorm that’s due this evening, I can hear the thunder as I type.

Bike ride into Orléans for a look around somewhere bigger than a village. Massive cathedral dominates the centre. Kay drove in the afternoon to Châteaudun that was on our list from a few days ago.

A ride into Beaugency and a walk discovering the historic town. Quick stop at a motorhome dealer to look at new mohos, nothing we want! We’re now parked in the forest close to the Loire.

We decided to get back onto the Loire for more interest. The Chateau here was very good value and was full of artefacts and information. Never had a tour of the attic and the dungeons before.
