The 25th is Loire. We went to the most beautiful village in Loire, not to visit castles.

Our first stop was.

These two villages are located on the banks of the Loire and are adjacent to each other.

I thought I could make more time because I could do all the sightseeing at once, but I often took a wrong turn on the way and passed by such a castle to take a picture, so I had to stay in this area for two hours more than I expected.

その後、トゥール方向へ逆戻り、Lavardin(ラヴァルダン)へ。

ここはアンボワーズの北30kmくらいのところにある村です。そしてもう一つMontrésor(モントレゾール)

This was the most beautiful village we visited today. The first photo on this page is also of Montresor.

Oh, we passed through Chenonceau on the way from Lavardin to here, so we did a quick sightseeing. I’ve been to Chenonceau once, so I went there quickly.

We ended up leaving Montresor at 5pm, way behind schedule. We definitely wanted to reach Vezelay that day, so we drive to Vezelay, which is over 300km away.

High speed to Bruges and then national road. The scenery from the national road was wonderful. A vast landscape of wheat fields and rape blossom fields all over the place, and it continued to the horizon. It was impressive. The road is also straight for several 10km. There are few towns, and it was easier to drive than I thought.

And we managed to arrive in Vezelay at dusk. The hotel was just around the corner, but it was so beautiful that I ran up to the hill on the other side of the river to take some photos of the city at sunset. I was very tired, though…

怒涛のロワールの村巡り、そしてヴェズレーへの大移動。とても疲れていたので昨晩はぐっすり眠ることができました。今日はいつもよりもややゆったりめのスタート。最初はもちろんここヴェズレーからです。
