a long day.

We grabbed croissants on the way out of Chinon to have along the way and we took the road out of town(cells and cars use it for a little ways). Smaller chateaus, modern houses and caves, vineyards. Many little towns with just a few houses.

Chinon is an imposing town. The fortress is at the top of a big hill and the town sits below it staggered down the steep slope. Although we though the approach from the backside was steep the front side was full of rough cobble stoned switchbacks, narrow streets.
