You guessed it! We're getting up early again! It's time to hit the road.
After we get kicked out of the hotel by 9:15 am, we have to go rent a car.
We'll have to rent from Avis because it's the cheapest. They only want
$310.00 w/AWD
code K520400 for 10 days, for a Toyota Yaris
or similar. I figure it will take about 2 hours to get this done, so we
should be on the road by 11:30 or so, and if we're lucky we'll find our way
out of Paris by about 12:30! ...(there's a map below for that!) ...Note to
self: Don't forget to get insurance on the car, and review the
driving rules! Our destination is Blois, just past Orleans, at this bed and breakfast ...It should be about a 3 hour drive thru lovely countryside and into the beginning of the upper Loire river valley. Maybe we'll feel like stopping in Orleans for lunch. If we are on time to get there by 3pm or so as I plan, we can go see the castle of Chambord, which is on the way. It's a marvel of architecture dating back to the 15 century, built by King Francis. For more about the castle click here. It's one of my favorites. |
