Valençay scenes and views

We're having a quiet Sunday here in France. Yesterday was the biggest departure day for people leaving the north, including Paris, and heading south for their August vacation. We just stayed home and saw a few reports about how long the traffic jams were and how much longer it might take to drive from Paris to the south compared to a normal day. Today would be that normal day. But people don't want to wait; they want to participate in the event It's exciting.


I wonder if the château at Valençay was crowded yesterday. Or Chambord. Or Chenonceau.

We are supposed to have a fairly nice week, with some good weather. There's even talk
of summertime returning to our climate zone, with a couple of hot days mid-week.


I wonder if anybody will be taking advantage of the warm weather
by taking a dip in the fountains you see in these pictures...

    I, for one, am glad not to be a person stuck in long lines of traffic. Uggh.

  2. Would they let you take a dip in those fountains? I'm loving the gardens in these photos.
