Chinon (1)

Matthieu, Nadine & Philippe bought Tine a hot air balloon flight for her recent big birthday, so off we went to Chinon, very excited to view the local châteaux from the air. Sadly it wasn’t to be as the air conditions weren’t suitable. BUT we’d booked an overnight stay and had plenty of time to discover Chinon: what a beautiful place!

A magical view of the chateau perched on cliffs above the River Vienne…

…and an even better view once you’ve climbed up (or driven in our case)!


Looking down isn’t so bad either



The area is renowned for its wine, vineyards even to be found in the town!


More next time, with some interior shots.
