Our drive to the Chateau

RETROPOST: After leaving money for our stay in the campground, we headed back into Mer to pick up supplies. We had spotted a nursery on our way into town and thought it might have some items that we needed (Don't ask) As we approached the store, it was looking kind of desolate. Oh yeah, it was lunch time. The sign said they would be back in two and half hours. How silly of us to try to make purchases between 12-3. So we continued on our way.

We drove along the Cher river. Our trip was from Mer to Chenonceaux, mostly on D764. I think that we chose our route wisely. The scenery could not have been more picturesque. Driving through small villages and through the country-side. Cars would be stopped along the river for a picnic. A few times a large Chateau would loom in the distance.

It completely matched the expectations I had when planning this trip. The following is a slide show of pictures that I took from the passenger seat of the RV.

These pictures are giving us a true sight of the French countryside. Evidently, it is summer there because of the green grass and trees and the flowers blooming.
Keep the pictures and commentaries coming. This is not as mind boggling as all of the pics at once.
