Châteaux

As we visited the Loire valley last year, we didn't visit the well know châteaux de la Loire. But we saw plenty of other châteaux. We even stayed in a château at Montreuil (see the section on Chambres d'Hôtes)

 

Combourg château, whose grounds we visited on day 2

Vitré château which we saw on day 3.

Boumois - an less known château on the Loire.

Rochefoucault château, near Angoulême.

Beynac château on a cliff above the river Dordogne.

Montfort château also on a cliff above the Dordogne.

Castelfranc a small private château near Montredon.

Carcassonne.
