And the answer is...

Chinon.


Well done, Susan! Thanks to everyone who offered a suggestion

Last summer Colin and Elizabeth invited us to join them at the Marché Médiéval. Chinon is both beautiful and interesting, and the marché a great, funfilled spectacle. If you are in the area on Saturday 3rd ofAugust I can recommend a visit.



The old and the new!

  1. Ah Chinon, still our favourite town in France, and those blue skies.......only three more weeks to go now.......!!
    I don't think we will be in the area for the marché this year, but you never know, the time might come......!!

    1. It will be well worth it. A couple of years ago we went to a medieval parade around August 20th which was also really good entertainment.

    1. It's worth a visit even from the Charente perhaps combined with an overnight stay around LP-P!

  3. I used to love visiting Chinon - particularly on 14th July. I spent many holidays in the Loire Valley and loved all those castles. Chinon had a bit of everything - happy memories! Axxx

  4. I had a wonderful stay in Chinon with my sister and 'beau-frere'. It was absolutely charming. Just about my favourite place in France.

    1. You must go again. Can it be en route for the Lot? If you choose a time when we are in France we can provide accommodation.

  5. I have only been once....when my now 21 year old was 2.... I remember sitting eating , somewhere gorgeous, with her in her buggy, lapping up the attention of the waiter, and the 3 of us being incredibly happy. I always smile when I think of Chinon....it brings back great memories. So thanks.... Jx
