Torch Lily
A lovely pharmacy garden in the hospice. -
Château de Chenonceau
Everywhere in the castle were huge bouquets of wonderfully arranged flowers. They give the castle a royal touch :-) -
Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune
View of the glazed-tiled hospice roof from the cour d'honneur, the main inner court. The roof type probably has central European origins, but is now a trademark of Burgundy. -
Basilique Notre-Dame de Beaune
A magnificent stained glass window. But I have no idea how old it is. May be old, but my uneducated guess would say quite recent. -
Château de Chenonceau
La chambre de Catherine de Médicis The rooms were quite cosy with fireplaces, wooden ceilings and the walls covered with Flemish tapestries. -
Château de Chambord
The centre of the spiral staircase has a lantern at the top. -
Bayeux Cathedral
Plenty of old windows in the cathedral as well... These are from 1260, showing the local bishops Exupère and Loup. -
Bayeux Cathedral
One of the many angels in the crypt. They play all sorts of instruments. -
Bayeux Cathedral
15th century fresco of angels in the crypt. -
Mont Saint-Michel
Well, hello! Bonjour! -
Cap d'Erquy
It was insanely hot walking here, no shadow in sight. But it was worth it. -
Pont de Saint-Nazaire
We stopped just south of the Saint Nazaire bridge... -
Puy de Dôme
What a season for Jumbo Visma. Not quite what I would have wanted, though. -

The dessert in Valloire, L'Asile des Fondues.
