Loire Valley Castles

Here's a group of pictures taken of the castles we visited in the Loire Valley - southwest of Paris.

The castle of Blois, located in the middle of a town.

Here's Patty trying to scoot by my camera.

Again, Sharon and I taking a break from the tour.

A park located nearby the Blois castle.

Ashlee and I climbing the trees in the park.

The castle of Amboise. Only 1/5 remains because the commonfolk used the stones to build their houses.

Another view of the Amboise castle.

This is the chapel where Leonardo da Vinci is currently buried.

This is the walkway up to the castle of Chenonceau.
