Loire Valley: Blois to Chambord
The Château de Chambord (above), built in the 1500s by Francois 1 as a hunting lodge, dwarfs Versailles. The photos don’t do it justice. The place is gargantuan.
We stumbled on this château by accident...
and it has a mill attached to it.

Loire Valley: Blois to Cheverny
Blois is a Medieval town in the Loire Valley about two hours south of Paris on the train. The entire area is networked with bike routes which run through forests, farmland, and small towns. We did about 50 miles in two days. Day One: Blois to Cheverny and back. Day Two: Blois to Chambord and back. Some highlights:
Forêt Dominiale de Russy
Château de Beauregard
