Big Day in the Loire Valley!
Today we had a 16-hour excursion by car to the Loire River Valley, which is a region where the French royalty built beautiful castles during the Renaissance. We visited Le Clos-Lucé, which is a home where Leonardo da Vinci spent the last three years of his life. Then we headed to Chenonceau, a castle inhabited by Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Médécis, which is built over the Cher River. It is the most visited tourist historical site after Versailles. We had lunch and spent the afternoon in the city of Tours, and then made our way home to Paris via Amboise, which boasts a beautiful castle perched on a hillside. We all had a great time, and I am very impressed by how interested the students were in the visits. =) Check photos below.
