A bit cloudier this morning but warm
and pleasant so we set off to do the other two walks around Amboise.
The first one concentrated on the architecture of the town whilst the
second took us to Troglodyte houses and above the chateau to the high
land favoured by the Gallic tribes and the Romans although only scant
remains of both survive.
As we arrived back at Henrietta for
lunch, a gentle drizzle started – excellent timing! We decided to
stay on to see the big market here tomorrow morning so we settled
down to a quiet afternoon catching up with chores, writing blog,
watching the rain and reading. Dinner was 'Confit du Canard au
Legumes et Cidre' (duck legs roasted on a bed of vegetables and
cider) at Chez Henrietta.
