An invitation from the site-owner

We’ve had a very full day. We’ve driven most of the day apart from a stop to see an old church in Nouans-les-Fontaines where we saw a painting entitled ‘Pieta of Nouans’. The artist was Jean Fouquet. We paid our 2 euro and the painting became illuminated. A woman with a very heavy French accent spoke to us in English about the painting. We then went next door to view more of his works and to read more about him. As there was a charcuterie just across the road we were purchased some cold meat and salad for our lunch. After some more travelling, we came to our destination which was the Chateau of Chenonceau. There were hundreds of cars and motor-homes in the parking area but we joined the queues and spent a very enjoyable few hours going through the chateau. Now we’ve settled into a camping site but I couldn’t resist showing you all the notice that appears on the window into the office of the site. I’ll write about the other sites once I get my wits about me again.
