As you can see in the photos, we got some beer on the way haha. It is legal for the passenger to drink in France also.... just FYI lol. The castle was huge and the details of the architecture towards the top was very enjoyable. We were short on time at this point, though, and opted not to go in (maybe we shouldnt have stopped lol). We could have spent hours inside I am sure. We got back to Carl´s parents home in time for dinner (see Orleans photos). His mother is an excellent cook like h...

One weekend, we took a field trip to the Loire Valley and stayed the night in Blois.  There was a typical, tourist-y "spectacle son et lumière" (sound and light show) at Blois Castle, depicting the town's history, at night, and a little sight-seeing around town.  Blois, however, is not as exciting a town as others, and Blois Castle is certainly not as well-known as, say, Chambord or Chenonceau.Luckily for us, the field trip included a visit to Chambord to see the town and castle.&n...

In the fall semester of 2005 I had the chance to live in Valbonne, France while I was studying. It was this that gave me my jumpstart in travelling. The chance to have a place I could come back to while I was in Europe made much easier for me to travel the continent pretty much every weeked. Not only did I visit some cities outside France, but I also got the chance to visit some nice French cities and towns along the way. Evidently Paris was at the top ofthe list.
