A Wet Day in Tours

The morning started off wet and drizzly as we set off for a extended walk around the town of Tours. It is an interesting place with a mix of very old interspersed with the rather new.







After lunch the drizzle turned to rain and we caught a local bus to La Riche to visit Saint-Cosme Priory, the home of French poet Pierre de Ronsard (1524-1585).

  1. Always wondered who Pierre de Ronsard was. He has a lovely popular rose named after him. Love all the photos :)
