Chateau and the Loire

Thursday 24 May

Today was Chateau hunting day! We found the lovely chateau at St Aubin, 10 miles away and when we stopped for lunch at Myennes and went for a little walk along the Loire we came across another one badly in need of love and care!
We were now heading in the Brittany direction and between Orleans and Le Mans we got a bit lost but saw signs to a chateau so drove around some pretty lanes but guess what, it was hidden behind the trees! Next place, a little village called Bouloire was very picturesque so we stopped and took a pic there instead.
We drove on and ended up in Laval, the capital of the Myenne department. We camped in the centre of the city alongside the river Myenne under the colossal viaduct. We walked by the river to choose a restaurant and passed a large square where youths were playing boule and a sort of skittle game too. It was all very attractive as is the city.
We notice the prices are going up the nearer we get to home. Seeing rhododendrons now too!
