I just want the world to know how much I truly love the Loire Valley. Anyone who is visiting France should add this jewel of a region to their list of places to see. The region is full of beautiful, quaint towns and chateaux that look like they have just sprouted out of the ground. During the Renaissance, the French crown made its primary residence in the area, and the chateaux still exist today for those who are interested in seeing how the other half lived in this time of cultural rebirth.
The best part about this trip is that it has led to beautiful weather in Paris! I welcome spring and sunshine, because it cuts the wind and cold. Even more than that, the good weather is welcoming in the celebration of my birthday! What a wonderful way to celebrate being born. Even the Seine is beautiful to me today, the Seine, the Tour Eiffel, the towers of Notre Dame. All these usual sites of my neighborhood look so much more beautiful to me today. It's la vie en rose! I can't stand it!
Well, yes I can. Anyway, here are some lovely images of the Loire to show you just how beautiful it is! (Le Chateau de Chambord [the first 4 images], Chateau de Blois, D'Ambois, le Chateau de Clos Luce, et le Chateau de Chambord, the final image is of Tours - just a few lovely sites).
