Views over the Loire...

With this fine spell of weather we are having I dragged Pauline back up to the river Loire to its confluence with the river Vienne as I wanted to cross the Loire and capture both Chateau Montsoreau  and the village of Candes-Saint-Martin from north of the river.

We crossed the Loire river to on the metal bridge to the west of Montsoreau...

...and at the other side got our first view of Montsoreau itself.

My zooms not great but here's the chateau a bit closer.

Then it was further along the river and down to 'Le Port'...

...for the view over to Candes-Saint-Martin...

and its church.

Here is the 'calendar' shot.
