Day 14 Chinon

Today we chose to stay local.
The sun shone, hats and sunscreen were needed.
We drive to Chinon, the closest town to Ligré where we are staying. It was market day so we parked up the hill behind the fortress. Easy walk down to the town or there is a free elevator! Many cafes and restaurants as well as post office, banks etc. La Vienne flows past and was lovely to walk along. The markets were fun but similar to home.
Lunch in the main square then a leisurely meander past some beautiful flowers back up to the car.
Restful afternoon before we walked about 30mins to an outdoor 'pop up' summer drinks and food. Lots of tables and chairs under the trees. Dinner was pocket bread with fillings or charcuterie board. Lots of fun and not on the tourist trail.En savoir plus
