29 April: Villandry -> Usse -> Chinon


The next morning we got up to explore the Chataeu at Villandry. Amazing gardens - as you'll see many a photo of herein!

Then setting off for a long day of cycling. The first stop before lunch was the Chataeu d' Usse, a.k.a. "The sleeping beauty castle" - as many of the rooms were set up as scenes of the Sleeping Beauty story.

We stopped nearby for lunch, and the continued on to the town of Chinon, where we were to stay for 2 nights.
