30 April: Chinon


The 3rd day was spent in and around Chinon. Everyone else when up to visit the local castle ruins, which were undergoing some reconstruction.

Personally, I took off to do a bit more cycling myself and cycled a loop back through Usse and through a forest.

I met up with the others again mid-afternoon in another small place, just 8 km out of Chinon. The plan was to do some wine tastings, and we were fairly successful - managing to find two places open in spite of being Sunday. Afterwards we did a small ride (many of us with heavier paneers after stocking up on wine!), and then back into Chinon to find another restaurant for dinner.
