Loches

Next day we are off to Loches, reached by just a short drive from Montrésor

The 'Aire' is situated over the river at the base of the town and is ideal for an overnight stop

Nice pussy….

Café culture time as its gone noon and the shops shut so we relent and go grab some refreshment

Nina's herbal tea was €4.20 with my local beer a little more

A far cry from the €1.00 fits all prices of Spain and Portugal

Southwards ever southwards…...

Pre 'sunshine days' with pasty faces

Night.night...

Montrésor

A drive south later in the day bypassing Tours we arrive at Montrésor

The sun decides to grace us with its presence and we go walkies round the village

Distant view of the Chateau

As ever Nina misses the crucial day

Vendôme

After our recent drama we head for Vendôme in Central France

The weather is still not great but good enough for a walk around this lovely town which we visited a couple of years ago

Perfect nesting spot

This is good practise for cuddling me apparently...

The Abbey church of the Holy Trinity

As ever with French churches you are blown away with the enormity of them and scale of detail architecture

Looking up inside

Usual deserted streets as its gone noon and the world stops for lunch in France

Around a 1000 inhabitants took part in this unique photographic collage that stretches around the quaint waterways of the park

Not a victim of recent flooding, its built this way..

Nina's favourite 'town house'
