There’s been a bridge here for about 1,000 years, originally of wood, and in stone since the 11th century.
I finally found the Chateau de la Lorie – but this is all I could see of it.
It doesn’t open until July. Two strikes. The cows cheered me up a bit.
Chateau de Serrant (still privately owned) is the most westerly of the great Loire chateaux.
Don’t tell anybody, but I did a few naughty U-turns to get this picture through the front gates (the main entry for the public is elsewhere).
So that makes my quota 12 chateaux. Five of them I entered, the rest I saw from the outside. I’m happy.
The local pub is where I go for internet access, and I was warmly ensconced there for the afternoon, with a rose and a really nice lasagne.
