Blois to Orleans (via Chambord Chateau)
Okay, before you get the feeling that this blog is about nothing but cycling on fine day's and visiting Château's, we want to let you know that our saunter through the Loire Valley is about at an end. That does not mean that there will not be more adventure, but there will certainly be fewer chateau's.
With that said, today we have a marvelous bike ride (of course) and visiting what is probably the best of the Chateau's, Chambord. Chambord was built for the Kings of France as a hunting lodge. From the history we learned today, other characters in the story seemed to be out of luck royals that were given the marvelous chateau in order to spend all their money in restoration.
