Our sojourn in the Loire Valley was coming to an end, as tomorrow we head back home to deposit our two live-wires back (after a final night in Lamothe 😓) with their parents.
I'm sure they can't wait...
This morning we woke fully charged. Well, except, as usual, me.
As luck would have it, the Chateau de Chaumont awaited, on this very day, a very royal visit.
Two princesses, dressed in traditional garb, graced this fairytale castle with their presence.
Although they weren't too keen on the sleeping arrangements.
The chapel had been prepared for them, carefully placing natural and artistic objects in such a bizarre way as to give a feeling of intense unease.
The one positive aspect was a billiard table, but even there the idiots had hung candles over it!
Sacrilege!
The fairytale roof design interested me, but then I'm not a princess.
Despite all this negativity, both princesses entered positive thoughts into the royal guest book.
They then took their rightful place.
Leaving Chaumont, we had just enough time to get to Amboise and wander our royal way into town to visit the local peasants.
A memorable day for the peasants.
I have gradually come to the conclusion that there must be more castles in the Loire Valley than there are local inhabitants.
The town itself is typical old France, although the local artists seemed a little too right-wing for me.
Our final night in the Loire.
The sky starts to change.
Tomorrow promises record rainfall.
Tomorrow will be wet. In more ways than one...
