Left Amboise about 8:50 for Loches and arrived an hour later, about 22 miles. Set off immediately in search of a hotel. The one we fancied was closed for two days (they never give a reason) so we spotted a sign for a hotel and followed the signs for it. When we arrived in Kathmandu we gave it best and walked back to the Tourist Information for advice. They directed us to the “George Sand” where we chose a room looking out over the river for €84. We unloaded the clothes and accoutrements and set off for a wander around the chateau. Lovely warm spring day was spent here exploring a beautiful little town. In the evening we spent a fruitless traipse of ¾ hour looking for a meal , so headed back to the hotel; where we ate a “cordon bleu “ feast. I had lamb with escargot whilst Jane had Filet de boeuf , followed by a “sphere chocolat avec fruits” and “soupe de fraises et glace” plus the obligatory bouteille du vin. Tres bonne.
And so to bed, relatively late for us, at 11:20pm.
