We are in the Loire valley at campsite called La Mignarderie. Not as flash as the Yelloh campsitein St Aubin sur Mer but quieter and surrounded by woodland. Today we visited a couple of Chateaux, firstly Chenonceau which was really spectacular and then Amboise.
The most striking thing about Chenonceau is that it's built right over the river Cher and you can cross from one bank to another by walking through the chateaux. Amboise is more like a medieval fortress set on a rocky outcrop. We didn't go into it as we a bit over walking around and the entrance fee was diabolical. Lovely town though. Charming even.
