Chateau de Chenonceau

The whole point of coming to the Loire was to see a chateau or two...and today we decided it would be the Chateau de Chenonceau, a rather spectacular example that is constructed to span the River Cher. But first we had to get there...which would be quite easy as it is opposite Chenonceau railway station.

The plan was to catch a lunch-time train so after a late breakfast, we visited the Cathedrale Saint-Gatien and the adjoining Cloitre de la Psalette instead of walking past as we did the day we arrived.

With the morning taken care of, it was down to Tours station and out half-hour train ride to Chenonceau. Before heading off to the Chateau, we wandered up into the village for some lunch.

Then it was off to join the crowd at the Chateau for a interesting and pleasant afternoon before catching a train back to Tours.
