The Château de Chenonceau is built spanning the river Cher and is one of the best-known châteaux of the Loire Valley.

On the first day in Fondettes we headed out for an evening walk along the nearby rivers - we’d expected to be able to take a circular route, but it appeared that the return route would be through a field of sheep which we decided probably wasn’t best with Nova so we retraced our steps back along the way we’d come from.

We took the overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Cherbourg, arriving in Cherbourg at 8am. We then started our journey south to the Loire valley, stopping at Utah Beach on the way.

We then continued our journey to our destination of Fondettes near Tours.
