Posted in Europe, Food and Wine, France

Let me tell you about a dandy in my road warrior rounds in the wonderful sublime Loire Valley. This is a spot have come several times to the gorgeous castle, I came by again this week and took nice pictures for you and me. It was a great experience, and always looking forward to be back, eventually, Do read my several posts on the castle and City in my blog, This time let me tell you again on curiosities of Amboise, part IV !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

Going along the D751 road before reaching Amboise on our right hand side the mighty Loire river! We arrived facing the castle for a great view and pic !!

The pont de Langeais bridge crosses the Loire between Langeais and La Chapelle-aux-Naux, and forms a section of the D 57 road. On the other side is Langeais and its castle (see post), We saw it coming by the Loire on the M952/D952 road direction Amboise before reaching Tours,

The piles of the temporary footbridge from WWII over the Loire river as seen from the Château d’Amboise, These were to allow the people of Ambois to cross the Loire. At low water, upstream, you can see the remains of the piers, both on the right and left banks. Strategic elements during the wars,

One of our big meals favorite since our first trips here back in 2015 ! with my dear late wife Martine, and continued to this week, This is the Créperie/restaurant Anne de Bretagne at 1 Montée Emir Abdel Kader just before going up to the entrance to the château d’Amboise, A very friendly place, nice talkative servers, and good food at reasonable price , Our Rex was very welcome! Great experience each time and we will be back, I had galette saucisse de Toulouse with a bottle of cider Val de Rance brut, for 20,25 euros, Recommended No webpage

We ,then went across the street for our desserts, italian ice creams at Amorino! 6 Place Michel Debré, We have been to them since Paris days and we follow them everywhere in France, We had our usual delicious ice creams and me the traditional strawberry, Good to the last scoop!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.

  1. I love the large room with the fireplace. I have spent many afternoons warming myself by this fire during winter hours. The chapel with da Vinci’s grave is one of the best parts of this tour.
