Last day for Mick and Bren and we set of to visit another Château, but this time to one we knew was there. On the way also a nice quiet country road, we stopped to take photos of a bridge over a canal and also some long shots of the Château.
The castle was bigger than I thought I was going to be, we drove up the hill and in through the castle gates and followed the signs to the car park. There was a village inside the castle with bars and shops etc, we decided we would try and walk around the castle walls, then make our way back to the village main square for a drink.
It was very hot and it took about an hour to walk around the castle walls, quite a big castle, a lot of it has been restored recently and it looks good.
We made a friend on the way round, a young goat followed us for about half the walk, if we hadn't come to a gate, I am sure the goat would still be with us.
At the end of the walk we were very, very hot, it was just after 12:00, the bar in the square was open, so we had to have a beer (Pelforth blond) to cool down. After the beer we had another quick look around the village, found an Aire but I am not sure we could get the van through the entrance into the village. Then it was a rush back to the site the watch the French F1GP from Magny-Cours in the van.
Sunbathing all afternoon, we had a BBQ for supper, Mick had his horse meat and we all had to have a bit, it was just like beef. Spent the rest of our last night with a few beers by the van.
