We're staying at the Chateau de Saint Paterne located in the Perche region of France. The chateau was built in the 15th century. No, we don't have the entire chateau to ourselves --- just one room,もっと詳しく

After seeing Ford vs Ferrari, I had to visit the Le Mans racetrack and museum. This car was from the first race in 1923. It did NOT win. We saw lots of other cars which did win over the years.

A cold and rainy morning. :-( We were supposed to go for a bike ride all day. We've swapped today's itinerary for Wednesday's, so let hope for better weather then.

Toured this Renaissace castle. Dan wouldn't mind living here. Not for me!
旅行者 Did they allow any pictures of the inside? Did they give a lot of history about the building?
旅行者 They allowed pictures of the interior but I didn't take any. Dan took some on his SLR camera. During the French revolution, all of these chateaus were sacked. This one is sparsely decorated now with furniture donated from museums. Construction of this chateau started in 1511 by Gilles Berthelot. In 1527, he had fallen out of favor with the new king, Francis I, and was executed, leaving the chateau unfinished. Restorations were undertaken throughout the centuries after that.

We're driving through the Loire Valley today. Lots of vineyards! I can hardly wait to stop in Chinon and have a glass of wine with lunch!
