For those of you who placed comments during this last week and wondered why I hadn't responded, it's because I was on a five day bike tour of the Loire valley between Amboise and the Atlantic. Fortunately, Blogger allowed me to queue up the weeks' posts in advance. Pictured here are my fellow bike tourists on the first day as we approached château d'Ussé. This is claimed to be the castle that Charles Perrault had in mind when he wrote
Sleeping Beauty.
Sounds like a great way to go on a tour!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it was a grand tour. There will be more photos to come!
Deleteun de mes rêves
ReplyDeleteje découvre le blog
bravo
Les rêves peuvent devenir réalité.
DeleteMerci.
It looks like the castle at Disneyland.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does. While Disneyland certainly jumped on the Sleeping beauty story (that is related to château Ussé), I believe they actually based their castle's design on one in Germany.
