Not Much to Not Like!

Published on Oct, 2024

Even though the weather during October wasn't the best - cold and cloudy - my husband and I very much enjoyed this in-depth tour of two chateaux. Alex, our wonderful young lady guide and driver, picked us up in Tours and we were joined by two other super nice couples. Comfortable van to travel in with Alex who shared her vast knowledge of the region, keeping us informed and entertained along the way. Words of warning for older folks - we are an older couple who keep in shape, but we ended up exhausted after this day. There is quite a bit of walking and climbing stairs in and around these old historical estates. The chateaux are HUGE! Very beautiful, extremely picturesque and really big with lots of great photos ops! In between visiting the two chateaux, this trip also included Alex facilitating a simple lunch at another private chateau. Lunch was prepared by the owner who is a countess - I thought that was really special! Our meal consisted of pork rillettes, cheese board with four different kinds of fromage, bread, a simple green salad, and quiche Lorraine. Everything was delicious, but - only constructive criticism here - the quiche Lorraine was served lukewarm, almost cold, and would have been so much better if it had been kept hot. Especially since the weather was cold. We were served very good wine and water with our meal. Overall, we would highly recommend this efficiently organized and expertly guided fun trip! Thanks again to Alex!
