Today it rained but we are fearless travelers so off we went to see the castles. We visited Usse Chateau. Susan and I paid 14 Euros to go inside and see the interior. You couldn’t take flash photos but I got one of the dining room. The gardens outside were designed by Le Notre, the famous architect of the Gardens of Versailles. Susan climbed to the top of the Sleeping Beauty tower. Then we left and drove to Amboise and had a coffee and pastries. Te chateau at Amboise was beautiful also. We saw more chateaus along the road. Tomorrow we are heading south for Limoges.
According to Yahoo it is supposed to be sunny and 63 in Limoges tomorrow. Are your sunny days on the horizon?
Are you going further south near Bergerac? We stayed in that area along the Dordogne river. Very pretty area and with all the rain you’ve been having, it will be lush and green. Last year it rained the whole month of April, but stopped in May around the time we got there.
I would have paid 14 Euro for a look inside of there too..fantastic!
I would have climbed to the top of the Sleeping Beauty tower too, great idea, Susan!
