Sometimes you just have to,don't you?

On wednesday we did our popular 'wine run' with Dennis and Angela which took us to Bléré (Beaujardin),Chargé (Plou et Fils) and Vouvray. Above pic is how the cave 'Aubert' in Vouvray has dressed its tasting room for summer and it looked too comfortable not to try out.

We had a wee bit of trouble finding a spot for lunch enroute with our first choice Bistrot du Terminus near Amboise closed because apparently, of some 'damage'. We then decided to continue over to Vouvray to try our usual little restaurant there 'La Saint Vincent' on the Quai de la Loire in Rochecorbon only to find it closed for its holidays! We eventually ended up in 'Cafe Corbon' on Rue du Dr Lebled in Rochecorbon (above) which was new for us and it turned out to be a good choice - one to keep.

Church on Sunday...Saint George's Chapel, Rochecorbon


On a recent trip over to Vouvray we decided to try our luck and see if the little Saint Georges Chapel in Rochcorbon was open...and this time it was.



Saint Georges used to be a small village in its own right but as its population diminished it was absorbed into the larger Rochecorbon (1808). As you drive along the banks of the Loire towards Rochecorbon from Tours keep you eyes open for a small (very) sign on your right ,first major road off to the left. 


For such a small place it is full interesting things..


Not least, its 12th century frescoes...


  depicting the last supper.



More pics...will add more detail when I add it to my 'churches'page on experienceloire.com
