Saumer…

I was about châteaux’ed-out from the trip and we still had another day of travel to go before we planned to go back home.  I discussed with Roy the possibility to head to Saumer for our final stop and from there head home the next day.  He agreed, so the next morning we headed west toward Saumer.  The further we went west the more beautiful the countryside.  We passed several towns with châteauxs and took pictures of them from a far vantage point.  This trip was never about entering every châteaux we saw but exploring the Loire Valley and viewing the châteaux as we passed by. 

When we got to Saumer, we had a coffee and found the local Tourist office to pick up maps.
