After another great breakfast....scrambled eggs and bacon, lovely bread and croissants , pear compote and great coffee we left at 0930...towards Amboise via D 61,D31 and A10(at Amboise).
Yvonne is thinking of maybe buying property in SW France between Bordeaux and Toulose in one of the Bastide towns... She is looking at Nerac,Agen,Aigen,Barbotan,Fourg.....?..It's a beautiful area....next visit perhaps???
We are now approaching Orleans and need to make a decision to drive via Paris or Troyes.
So we decided to go via Troyes and Reims....from Les Mesnil to Amboise via D61 and D31... Then the A10 to Orleans and the A19 to Troyes, then A26 to Reims, the A34 Charleville-Meziers....then to Sedan, Dinant and to Liege where Ms GPS sent us into the city during rush hour and into another torrential downpour!!! The last part of France and the first part of Belgium was very pretty...rolling hills, cows grazing and deep rocky gorges. Finally found the BnB and Meyer Marion and Lukas, the owners. Very nice couple and the apt is really cute....there is a living room and kitchen and bathroom on the first floor and the bedrooms are in the loft very cozy and they have an extra room across the hall for Claire..it's on a hobby farm and it would be so nice for a walk but...it's still raining. They have a book of wonderful walks through the hills....hopefully it will become a bit nicer before we leave so we can go for a walk.
Tonight we tried to go to the Kaserne for dinner but it was totally empty so we went to Cafe Shiejk instead where we had yummy white asparagus dinners and W had beer and I had. Sauvignon from the Loire. It was full even though all the other restaurants were empty...there was a semi final Ajax vs Lyon game....Ajax won...so everyone was happy..
