Day 34: Much the same as a year ago. This time Austin, Reed and I arrived late morning on 10th August, 2023. We started to clear up. The patio first, then the ‘boys’ cut weeds on the slope while I worked inside.
In the afternoon we toured the Chateau de Poncé sur le Loir. The grounds were lovely, and no other people there. There’s an amazing columbarium, one of the best in France.
Then we enjoyed exploring a nearby village of troglodyte dwellings called Troo.
We stayed overnight.
11th August: Amboise, La Closerie de Chanteloup, le Clos Lucé, vouvray, le Musée de Compagnonnage (Tours).
