Picnics and chateaux, with Lee in the Loire valley

Picnics and chateaux, visit to the Loire Valley with Lee

Chinon, Villandry, Azay-le-Rideau, Langeais, the romance of the Loire Valley seen through the architecture and gardens of these magnificent chateaux and quaint villages.

Lee was on business in Paris from South Africa during the autumn of 1987 and we had this special opportunity to spend time together. This Postcard reminds me of our weekend away with her, 'doing' some chateaux as my card says, antiques, tapestries, complex and convoluted history and without a doubt the highlight was the formal vegetable garden at Villandry.

My photo album is dotted with many picnic scenes, coffee and croissants, baguettes and cheese. How I would love to sit on a grassy patch again and take in the french countryside with a picnic basket of treats. Lee, you keen?
