Collected vehicle and off out of Paris by mid morning. Vince handled the traffic well so no problems and we were away. Very hard to now say where we went and what towns we actually visited and in what order during the next thirteen days. I have a rough idea after viewing the photos but as they were not all downloaded on the day they were taken, some are mixed up. In the back seat we didn't have a map and all directions were handled by the sat nav Karen. This I found out was a real mistake because we didn't have a sense of direction, north, east, south or west, or distance that we had travelled. I should say here that the only conflict in the vehicle would be that machine and it has put me off wanting to own one. Ok at home where you know roughly where you are going but not in a country you don't know unless you are using it to follow a hard copy of a map. To put it in prospective, if we had had an accident neither Annette or I would have known where we were. Not even close. But, I must add for all the times we individually got fed up with her, she gave us as much entertainment, even if most of it was at Vince's expense. I even think he can now see the funny side of most of the locations she tried to send us. We all hear stories about these machines and now I can say most would be true. Our first chateau since Paris.
Travelled for hours and hours until we finally got to our destination for the next three days, Beaulieu-les-loches. Vince wanted to visit the Royal City of Loches, an old castle in the town of Loches, next door.
Loches is an old town and the castle complex is made up of many buildings with a surrounding wall. Common over here. View of the town of Loches.
