Off and running...well perhaps a light canter

Said goodbye to our first guests of the season this morning...stayed at 'La Belle Vue' and happy to report, enjoyed their time here in Barrou. Enjoyed their visits to Loches and to Villandry as well as trying out a bit of fishing on the Creuse.They also had fun with Willie and Sandra at the bar/restaurant.

Lucky for some...

The 13th proved lucky for our current Canadian guests at 'Les Balcons' they had a very nice October day for visiting the Chateaux at Azay le rideau and Villandry.

It clouded over a little in the afternoon but not enough to spoil the day.

A walk around...Villandry gardens.

The gardens at Chateau de Villandry here in the Loire valley are one of the 'must see' visits of any trip to this beautiful part of France. Split on three levels, the ornamental garden, the water garden and the kitchen garden.The gardens change with the seasons... here a picture is certainly worth a thousand words...
