Monday's Loire Valley chateau - Chateau de Luynes.

One of the lesser known castles of the Loire Valley, Chateau de Luynes closed its doors to visitors back in 2016. Lucky enough to have visited the inside but do recall a very enthusiastic guide unpicking every thread of their impressive tapestries!

Monday's chateau...Chateau de Villandry and being a tour guide.

I have decided to feature last weeks visit from Rab and Julie this week as it had me out and about as a tour guide again. Choosing which of the Loire Valley chateaux to visit first an be difficult as they all offer something different. For their first chateau visit I took them to Chateau Villandry. Pauline and I have of course visited many times before so we let them have a look around the inside while I took even more photos of the gardens.

The beautiful spell of weather we are haing made it a pleasure!

I just about managed to catch them on the roof terrace.

They enjoyed their visit a lot...as you can tell!
