Monday - 9th Jan - Azay de Rideau

Monday - 9th Jan


 The castle Azay le Rideau -  a nice one.



Azay de Rideau - impressive place next to a river, with a moat. They are currently redoing the whole place

One room had a video of the work that goes into the edging of the curtains, the lace edging of the cushions - really amazing, all done by hand. Also the straw woven matting that went on the floor and all over the walls to create a real warmth in the room. It was a bed chamber of some famous bird.

Nice town! Lunch at a great restaurant. Waitress seemed a bit flustered. Crepe machine was not working for a bit.



The cathedral in the middle of Tours

 Afternoon back in Tours. Did some washing. Saw the cathedral. In the laundromat, some dodgy dude was sitting there, but there was no other washing. So I stayed with our things that were drying, he glanced at me, then left.




Old Tours is modern.
