European Adventure 2017
Not quite so hot today as we had rain overnight but it eventually warmed to a very pleasant 23 degrees. It is raining again as I write this unfortunately as we have a walk to town to do and a light show at the Blois Chateaux to watch. We left our noisy campsite at about 9am and decided to split up. Mandy wanted to see one of the other big three chateaux and the rest of us wanted to get to the town of Blois and see what was on offer there. Arriving at Blois we found a camping car (as they call Motorhomes over here) car park very close to the Blois Chateaux so paid our €5 to stay for the night and then went exploring. Mandy later told us we had missed out on a fantastic chateaux (the one they did in the morning) but we went to see the Chateaux Chambord in the afternoon instead which was huge and quite interesting. We all met up at 5pm at the camping car park and compared our days events. A very pleasant day. But it wasn't over yet as every night at 10.30 there is a sound and light show at the chateaux Blois so we had dinner out in the town so we could stay awake and headed off to the show. The show lasted 45 minutes and told the story of the Chateaux itself, Joan of Arc and some of the kings of France who made this their home. Very well done.
