And of course, with all these going around we ,also, needed a rest to sleep in this beautiful lands of the Loire Valley of my belle France. We knew the place we stayed before was central so we opted for a repeat and see the folks still very nice. I like to tell you a bit more of the Île Bouchard (an island on the Vienne river) and our stayed at the La Isla Bonita b&b. Hope you enjoy it as I.

As already rented from them , the call was direct and cheaper for the same apartment for 4 including wheelchair Dad. Another son and the dog Rex stayed behind this time. The contact was easy and immediately rented the Trinidad apartment which windows have a view on the back terrace leading to the Vienne river!.You can see my other posts on the town island of Île Bouchard! Only 17 km from Chinon. The L’Île-Bouchard is located in the Indre-et-Loire department,37 in the Centre-Val de Loire region. The view from La Isla Bonita our B&B to town below
The Isla Bonita chambre d’Hôte or B&B is located on an island, on the edge of the Vienne river; in fact the terrace is right next to it!. The B&B allows you to enjoy the charm and tranquility of Touraine while offering a variety of attractions nearby. We stayed at the Trinidad apartment, a family room: it is made up of 2 separate rooms which communicate: a parent room and a child room. Each room has access to the balcony. 28.17 sq meters with inside bathroom. Great!

As we already knew the island of 1700 folks, we walked to pick up our pizzas for dinner in our room. This was again the good Pizzeria Tintin.You ordered and go to pick up about one km from the apartment. This was recommended by the owners on our first trip here, and was good again. webpage: https://pizza-tintin-lile-bouchard.eatbu.com/?lang=fr
There you go folks, a nice secluded real France stay with easy connection to the wonders of the Loire Valley, and very friendly folks at La Isla Bonita! Hope you enjoy the post and discover with me this pretty island.
