Having enjoyed yesterday’s chateau visit, we make our way to Valencay, ostensibly to visit another, but when we arrive we find Le Chateau de Valencay closed for the season. Luckily there’s a tourist information office […]
2018 Day 113 – Montresor
The Les Plus Beaux Villages are each delightful in their own way, either for their cultural, historical or architectural uniqueness, but every so often we come across one that’s so perfectly charming it stands out […]
2018 Day 112 – Rain and rest

As far as our travels through Lyon took us yesterday, there’s one place we didn’t quite make – its famous fine food market, Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse. Named for the revered chef, a […]
