June 12, 2024,🇨🇵 Amboise und Chenonceau - Loire und Cher

Today there were a few more chateaus on the agenda... less wine, more Renaissance.
We were a little disappointed with the section of the Loire cycle path that was presented to us, we liked the section along the Cher better and not because of the legendary Chenonceau Castle on the same river.
