Our favorite part of Versailles wan Le Petit Trianon, a separate little vil lage with a quaint little cot tage, grist, mill, and lake where Marie Antoinette re treated when she tired of the King and wished to play at being milkmaid and mingle with the peasants. It was here that we almost didn't resume our tour of France as our instructions had been to meet our bus at the front gate. . no problem find ing the front gate as a huge statue of Iwis SIV stood in the center of the courtyard. The problem occurred when we got outside the entrance and saw not one bus but close to one hundred buses! We organ ized scouting parties and eventually located our bus and bus driver Jacque. Througho oul the trip our buses were very comfortable with plush reclining seats. Continuing on we enjoyed the landscape; the flowerbed and gardens were a work of art. Soon we were in the Iire Valley, "the garden of France," a gentle region where man and nature have cooperated to create a unit of beauty. First stop Chartres: narrow cobblestone streets, brilliant flowers. ladies in starched lace caps 16 inches tall selling lace, little shops and the love liest Gothic cathedral in the world It was here that we had the opportunity to view the veil belonging to the Virgin Mary. Meandering on through the lush French countryside we observed wheat, hay and vineyards. All farming seemed to be done on a small scale with much agriculture resembling strip farming as we know it. Arriving in Tours, we checked into our hotel with French windows opening into a courtyard. Here we all ga thered to enjoy our new found friendships and plan our eve ning excursions. We walked to a small family owned restau rant where we spent two hours eating dinner. No fast food chains here food is meant to foe savored course by course. It was served family style by the lady of the restaurant. First bread, then cucumbers in a sauce, sauteed carrots, lettuce and tomatoes, veal and gram may divert an addition al 10 to 20 percent of their wheat base and receive pay ment in kind equal to 75 percent of the established yield times the acres diverted.

Each item is served separately and by the time you finish the only thing to do is take a nice long walk through the old part of the city. Tours is the center of Cha teaux country, so off we tra veled the next morning to view the castles of the Loire Valley. Many church wars occurred in this part of France. First stop was Chateaux Axay le Rideau, built during the Renaissance period. A fireplace was so large the girls could stand inside. Here we noticed many carved and stone salamanders showing up the Gothic in fluence. Traveling on we observec currents, strawberries, wal nut trees, mulberry bushes, hedge sculptures, water lilies on the ponds, formal gardens and a river which resembled green pea soup. The brick, rock and stucco homes now have gabeled roofs. We dis embarked and walked through a long narrow land of trees leading to "Cinderella's' castle at least that best des cribed our first glimpse of the most romantic of all chateaux of the Loire Valley. Chen oneaux. It was built by Thomas Bohler, finance minister of Normandy and seized in 1535 by King Francis I whose son. Henry II. gave it to his mistress. Diane de Poitiers. She spent a fortune extending the building, inclu ding an ornate bridge across the river, which during the war. became a hospital for wounded soldiers. Previous to the war. Diane was ousted by Henry's wife. Catherine, and land designated for con servation use must hav been devoted to row crops or small grains in two of the last three years except for a summer fallow farm. Under summer fallow rules the land must be acreage that woul have been planted to small grains or row crops in 1984 in the crop reach maturity. A ceiling may be placed on the size of the wheat reserve at that time which will effectively preclude entry of the 1984 crop into the reserve. contracts signed by pro gram participants for either the acreage reduction of P I K program will be con sidered as binding and will provide for liquidated dam ages for failure to comply with program requirements. iiiifb , 1 ill v 1 1 M T. IMk r ,T I I , . I I Loire Valley Chenoneaux was the scene of royal feasts and celebrations exceeding in Iavishness even those of Paris and Versailles. After the revolution, the Menier family purchased tne castle and opened it to the public, making continuous improvements. We toured the wax museum on the grounds which helped to make the past inhabitants of the castle come to life and ate at the restau rant before racing back to the bus through one of France's typical downpours. (Too bad Spain couldn't have shared some of this rain we experien ced.) Chambord was the third chateau we visited with 440 rooms; we barely had time to see 45. The hunting rooms were huge. We could visualize the mighty hunters with wine goblets and leg o mutton sharing their hunting stories in days gone by. It's the largest castle of the Loire chateaux, with its centrally planned structure attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, and it is famous for its double-ramp spiral staircase. Another memorable day came to a close with a tour of the wine caves and our return to our friendly courtyard in Tours at Hotel Gambetta. Next week, the final days in France with Ann, Kathleen, Carolyn, Wanda, Jennifer, Kimberly, Val, Michele and Claudia.
