    • Cheverny was most interesting from the inside - most beautiful furniture, armours and decoration. It is the castle, that Hervé used in his comic "Tim und Struppi".

    • We didn't go inside, but enjoyed the view of the castle. It looks like one of those old fortified castles with those huge towers - I bet that it is very beautiful inside, as well!

    • Aaaah! My absolute favourite place! There is this wonderful castle (the picture shows the view from the castle across to the campground), there is an extremely interesting museum called 'Le Clos-Lucé', where Leonardo Da Vinci has spent the last years of his life, the town itself is nice and the fleamarket was outstanding!!!!

    • Tours is a nice city, as well: we enjoyed the old town, another great fleamarket, the cathedral with spectacular windows and the 'Musée du Compagnonnage': the handicrafts museum.

     Tini, the Loire Valley really seems to be a gem for a honeymoon. Especially Amboise looks lovely. It looks like the German saying "Scherben bringen Glück" was reality on your trip. :-)    		deecat Wed Mar 18, 2009 23:04 UTC
     Now, this is certainly a special place for you since you spent your honeymoon here! Sad about the "rock through the car window". What great architecture and what a beautiful river. Lovely page.

     Good overview on the Châteaux de la Loire. Amboise is not often found as the most interesting Chateau! I prefer Azay and Villandry!    		yumyum Mon Mar 19, 2007 22:10 UTC
     Looks like a lovely region! Thanks for introducing it to me!
