Day 24 - The Castles of Loire Valley: Chambord, Chenonceau, Cheverny



Well, after spending an hour uploading three pictures, I'm done. While several more were pointed out to us in our travels, these are pictures of each of the castles we actually visited today. The first castle is Chateau de Chambord. It is the largest castle in the Loire Valley, but was simply a hunting lodge. Can you imagine? The second is Chateau de Chenonceau. It has many gorgeous gardens, as well as a maze. The third is Cheverny. We were surrounded by horses and hunting dogs that are taken out twice a week for a hunt. The grounds, again, were breathtaking. I will post more when I can. We'll bid adieu to Paris and head to Switzerland tomorrow. Not sure what Internet service will be like there; hopefully better than here. Talk soon...
