My kids were fascinated by the 'minecraft trees'. -

An almost 400 years old chestnut tree. -
Route D673
One cannot not stop here. What a lovely place. On the road D673 just south of Calès. -
Château de Chenonceau
The vegetable garden with all sorts of plants. I love the tiny apple trees forming the borders. Yes, those are 40 cm tall trees :-) -
Château de Chenonceau
The avenue leading to the castle. Great shade in the summer heat. -
Les Roches de Ham
A lovely walk. A wonderful view. Delicious galettes. And cidre. -
Le Fort du Guesclin
As everything in Brittany, this place is also full of history. Romans, destroyed, fortress in 800s, destroyed, fortified castle built by Bertrand du Guesclin in 1100, destroyed in 1598, this one built in 1756... -
Cap d'Erquy
It was insanely hot walking here, no shadow in sight. But it was worth it. -

A walk along the Côte de granit rose at sunset, somewhere between Ploumanac'h and Trégastel. -
Côte de granit rose
What a lovely place for a house! -
Château de Costaérès
Another spectacular place. A neo-medieval style manor on one of the islands. Built by a Polish engineer Bruno Abakanowicz, later Sienkiewicz wrote Quo Vadis here. Now owned by the comedian Didi :-) -
Côte de granit rose
Every interesting rock has a name, I'm sure an interesting name was given to this one as well. This one is close to La Plage Saint Guirec. Update: it's called Napoleon's hat :-) -
La Dordogne
Dordogne river. What an interesting place this part of France is. View of the river from our campsite. -
La Roque-Gageac
A lovely place to rest and enjoy a drink. Especially in such a heat! -
Puy de Pariou
One of the most photogenic volcanoes around there. Unfortunately the weather was quite meh so (this time) we didn't climb the Puy the Dôme. -
Puy de Pariou
What a lovely place for a walk. We climbed up the hill from the back side, returning down the stairs. -

Puy de Pariou with Puy de Dôme in the background. Of course once we decided not to climb the Dôme but the Pariou, the skies cleared. -
Puy de Pariou
What a lovely and tranquil place this forest is. -
Valloire
I love the tree shadow on the church. Must be even lovelier in the winter.
