Castle, Castle, Castle (Vacation 2)

Now the Loire Valley is famous for its castles, or châteaux. And they are rich with French history. We couldn't spend a week there without visiting some of these incredible places. At least that's what the adults thought. But by the time we saw castle number two, the kids were moaning and groaning about one more château.

 First on the list was Chambord.


 I guess this photo doesn't need a caption.

Break time.
Light show on the castle of Chambord.

We had help to carry the moaners and groaners.

One more moaner...

 Blois was second on the list. It is less impressive on the outside but lots of history on the inside.

 Amboise was right across the river from where we were staying.

And my personal favorite, Chenonceau.


The gardens are as beautiful as the castle.
