France: Loire Valley

Right after we landed in France we immediately rented a car and drove to the Loire Valley and during the 4 hour drive I was also throwing up.

Day 1 When we arrived in the Loire Valley we immediately visited the gardens of the chateau de Villandry and the church saint Etienne.

Day 2 We went to the chateau de Chenonceaux it was amazing because it spans the Cher river. We went to the chateau de Chaumont We also went to the chateau de Fougeres sur-bievres it was the only medieval castle we looked at.

Day 3 First we got a flat tire then we visited the chateau de Cheverny. Cheverny still has people living in it and it is Tintin's house in the Tintin series. We visited the Chateau de Troussay which also has people living in it and it is the smallest chateau in the Loire. We also visited the Chateau de Beauregard. Beauregard has a room with 100 portraits in it. That night we stayed at a great hotel on the Loire river.

Day 4 We visited the biggest Chateau in the Loire the Chateau de Chambord which has a spiral staircase that has two sets of stairs. Then we headed to Paris on the A10
