Tuesday for towns in the Loire Valley - Chinon and its medieval streets

      

We revisited Chinon on Sunday for a stroll through its medieval streets and  'brocante mensuelle' on the banks of the river Vienne,which is always a pleasure.

Monday's Loire Valley chateau - Chateau de Langeais

More on Chateau de Langeais here.

Church on Sunday - the church of Saint Vinvcent, Antogny-le-Tillac

The church of Saint Vinvcent in the little village of Antogny-le-Tillac is interesting in that it appears to have been built offset. 

Its paneled nave, with some parts of it dating from the 11th century, is oddly offset to the apse and is lit from windows on one side only.

  

The apse with its octagonal bell tower date from the 12th century.

Where's Joan? - she's not here but this lady is - saint Germaro?

Santé - have a great weekend from all of us here in the Loire Valley...

...why not make enjoying some Loire valley wines part of your weekend.
