Heading there Sept 19 - how was the weather while you were there?
Wonderful report- super pictures
Thanks !

The weather was the best we ever had in france. 8 days of sun and 1 hour of rain! However, September isn't June...

Thank you, sssteve. Just yesterday my sister asked me to help plan an itinery to France for she and her husband. I suggested Paris (of course!) and Loire Valley. This post from you was right on time!

Very much enjoyed your trip report. So I see that the Chateau in Saumur is no longer covered with scaffolding. I appreciate the details and photos in your TR.

Thanks YK.

Actually there was still some scaffolding, but I took the picture where there wasn't any.

sssteve, thank you, thank you, thank you for your post and link to your numerous trips. So many of your trips are on my "to do" list and the information included in your trip reports is invaluable. Your pictures are fantastic. You are to be congratulated and thanked for sharing your world travels!

Hi sssteve,
Many thanks for posting such a fabulous and informative link to all your travels. So beautifully done!
I was sorry to read you didn't go inside the chateau in Azay-le-Rideau. Not fantastic but lots of huge tapestries on the walls. I have not been to the Lazer Show at night though.
If you thought Azay was as pretty as a picture you must have missed out on the most beautiful village in all of France ( so some say)!
Between Chinon and Saumur at the confluence of the rivers Vienne & Loir is the beautiful village of Candes-Saint-Martin. The restaurant at the bottom of the steps of the church was very good.

I will be studying your trip in the Yellowstone, Banff, Calgary area for a trip in 2009 to family near Grande Cache in Canada.
Thanks again!
PS. Many years since I stayed at The King David Hotel in Jerusalem!!
