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.

flowers. ladies in starched

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

It was served family style by

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

most romantic of all chateaux
of the Loire Valley. Chen

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

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
