???????? FRANCE: Loire Valley, Part 1 - Château de Chambord ???????? ???? | TRAVEL VLOG #0104
Bonjour a Paris!
I’m here this morning near the catacombs in Paris to pick up the tour bus for an all day tour. It’s gonna last about 12 hours, and we’re leaving from central Paris and we’re going to 3 Châteaux, and we’re gonna do some wine tasting and I think it’s gonna be so much fun!
We will see the opulent Chateau Chambord, a working winery called Chateau Nitray, and the famous castle on the river, Chateau Chenonceau.

Tours, Loire, France
The world's most famous collection of palaces is in the Loire Valley outside of Paris in France. You’ll find the city of Tours is a very good home base for staying a few days, and from here you can easily explore the Loire Valley, and visit the many illustrious Château that are in the region. Most of the major attractions are within 30 to 40 minutes away from Tours – it's very convenient either by train or by private Tours company.
A big attraction of Tours are the large number of hotels available in a wide range of prices, and lots of restaurants – and the train station is right in the center of town, so it's real convenient for getting around. Tours is easy to reach from Paris by train. You can take the high-speed TGV from Montparnasse Station and it just takes an hour and 12 minutes with no change of train necessary, so that's very convenient. And the train station is right in the middle of town when you arrive in Tour, so everything is just in front of you.In the tangle of narrow streets branching off from the Place Plumereau, one finds many examples of fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth century houses, including a few with wooden fronts ornamented with roughly carved statuettes.

BICYCLE TOURING FRANCE - Part 2 Paris and Loire Valley
In the Summer of 2018 I rode my bike from my hometown Goirle in the Netherlands to the south western corner of France. It took me 9 days to cover a total distance of 1350 km.
For the bigger part I followed the French part of the route to Santiago de Compostella. Also known as the Camino. GPX can be found here (dutch):
This part 2 covers day 4 and 5 of my trip, where I went straight thru the centre of Paris. After Paris I went further South until I reached the river Loire at the city of Orleans. From there I followed the Eurovelo 6 along the Loire until I reached Chaumont sur Loire.

2014-04-14 Chateaux of Loire River Valley ,France 法國之旅 (一)羅里河邊之宮殿
看! 古帝王的奢侈,無道。西方帝國主義自古侵略,殖民。過去法國在非洲侵略殖民。今天國內非洲黑人及回教徙到處都是。吃定法囤了。是因果報應吧。(英美亦復如是)2014-04-15 After breakfast this morning, you'll travel overland to Blois, taking in the lush scenery of the Loire Valley along the way. With more than three hundred château, from tenth-century castles to splendid mansions built a thousand years later, this Garden of France attracted Kings and nobility for its charm and beauty. And today, the fertile valley with its moderate climate continues to attract visitors.
Around mid-day, you'll stop in Chambord—home of the Loire Valley's largest château, which gleams like a great white stone in the middle of rolling pastureland. It was commissioned by King Franςois I from 1519-1547 as a supposed hunting lodge, when really, he intended to secure refuge close to his mistress. As you explore the château this afternoon, be on the lookout for its marvelous double-helix staircase, rumored to have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci. And perhaps you'll come to understand why Henry James once remarked upon the rooftop by writing, ...The towers, cupolas, the gables, the lanterns, the chimneys, look more like the spires of a city than the salient points of a single building.
Afterward, you'll continue making your way to Blois, arriving early this evening. You'll check into your hotel and then take an orientation walk with your Program Director, strolling past the timbered houses of this small market town.
Tonight, gather with your fellow travelers for an included dinner at a local restaurant.

Blois • Optional Château de Chenonceau & Chaumont International Garden Festival tour
o Accommodations: Hotel Mercure Blois Centre
After breakfast, you'll take a guided tour of Blois, which includes a visit to the architecturally striking Royal Château. It combines four distinct wings around a single courtyard, each corresponding to a different architectural period and style. Married with 19th and 20th-century restorations, these form a unique panorama of French design.
This afternoon, you may join an optional tour to the Château de Chenonceau and Chaumont International Garden Festival. Throughout the 15th to 20th centuries, the Château de Chenonceau changed hands several times, but as you roam the property today, you'll still find its grand arches spanning the River Cher and several delightful gardens. Afterward, you'll depart for Chaumont where you'll explore its International Garden Festival on your own. Here, art and nature poetically interweave: Contemporary installations emerge from flowerbeds and the surfaces of shallow pools.
Once you return to your hotel, your evening is free to make your own discoveries.

o Accommodations: Hotel Mercure Blois Centre

A lunch buffet will follow, where you'll be given the chance to sample some of the vineyard's vintages during an included wine tasting.
Then you'll depart for Amboise, where you'll enjoy a walking tour of its Old Town and view the facade of its sprawling château, which is recognized as a National Heritage Site by the French Ministry of Culture. Afterward, you'll have time to continuing exploring the area on your own.
Once you return to your hotel, your evening is free to make your own discoveries.
