Entry from: Loire Valley, France Entry Title: “French chateaux and countryside” Entry: “I took a bus tour to visit the castles of the Loire Valley. Left Paris at 7:15am and had a 3 ¾ hour drive to our first stop. There were travellers from Australia, France, Spain and Japan. My high school Japanese came in handy along the way, as did the Spanish I have picked up from concentrating on Dora the Explorer when the kids watch it at school! Along the way we saw farms, fields full of the yellow plant that has the seed used in canola oil, forests and the Loire River. At 11am we arrived at Chenonceau and we were guided around the inside. Then we had free time to look at the gardens and go through the maze. The castle was being restored at the front so unfortunately could only get photos from one side, luckily it was the best side and the one I had hoped for. Next we drove to Cheverny where we looked inside, around the gardens and at the kennels. This was the only Chateaux that currently has a family in residence, so we could only see half of the building. Finally we drove to Chambord which was the most magnificent of them all! It really looked and felt like a castle from a fairytale. I got so camera happy, as you can see from all the pictures. We departed at 5:15pm and arrived back in Paris at 8:15pm. Daylight …
In this film you will see: Seine – a popular place for walks, visits and meetings; Eiffel Tower; Garden Tyuilri – well-groomed paths, pond and a neatly trimmed shrubs and understandable only to the French exhibition of silver psevdoskulptur – the garden entrance to the Louvre opens always looked perfect; Streets of Paris – nice houses with wrought iron balconies and French windows to the floor, where everyone wants to have an apartment here; The Louvre, Notre, the Arc de Triomphe, Sacré Coeur in Montmartre.

Entry from: Caen, France Entry Title: “Visit to Caen and Museum of Peace” Entry: “Hi all. We wanted to get a little more background on the D-Day invasion…so we hopped a 20 minute train from Bayeux to Caen. Caen is a more commercialized town as it was re-built after the war. It is home to a museum that chronicles the issues leading up to WWII as well as the Allied response of over 2 million soldiers for the D-Day invasions. It was a good day trip and easy to get to. It also has ruins form William the Conqueror’s original castle.” Read and see more at: www.travelpod.com Photos from this trip: 1. “Downtown Caen” 2. “Sculpture at the Peace Museum” 3. “Where to?” 4. “Caen” 5. “Gothic Cathedral in Caen” 6. “Entrance to the Castle” 7. “Old drawbridge entrance” 8. “At the drawbridge” See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com
