We went to Château d'Amboise, Clos Lucé and Château de Villandry

It was only a day trip but we managed to see these three:

Château d'Amboise:










Clos Lucé: (There is a tunnel that connects Lucé to d'Amboise for DaVinci)










and Villandry. (The gardens were still starting to pop but they were amazing nonetheless)












Have fun! I can't wait to get back there and spend a week!

Leaving tomorrow for Paris!

I can't even begin to tell you how exited I am. This has been a place I've wanted to visit since I was in my teens!

Due to an awful lot of life circumstances over the past thirty years it never seemed to happen.

The tickets were booked last November. We have a Flat rental in the Panthéon neighborhood and it's about a 3-5 minute walk to the Seine.

We will be making the rounds to museums and walking around and eating and playing in the city. We are spending one day in the Loire Valley to visit some vineyards, etc., and will be tryinig to Visit Da Vinci's final resting place.

The rest is all Paris in the springtime!


I hope to be providing pics when we return in two weeks!

to all my DU friends!
