More Chaumont.

Look at this amazing espalliered pear tree. Stunning. And quite possibly the coolest living wall display I have ever seen! Love the hostas and huecheras!

Charming garden exposition

I have a lot more photos of this show, but here is a tidbit. I was kind of disappointed this year.... It did not seem as professional as in the past. These are the best ones in my opinion.......

Chenonceau

Oh darn.... Another chateau. I hate it when that happens.

Chateau de Chissay

We are in the Loire Valley now and this is our hotel! Holy crap! A 15th century chateau...... Yippee!!!!

Villandry

Holy crap!!! What an amazing potager!!!

The market in Beaune.

Copious amounts of fun.

The city of Beaune.

In the Burgundy region. This is the 15 th century Hopital Dieu. The roof tiles and the architecture are amazing!

I thought I was in France.

It was a good day.

Today we visited St. Remy do Provence and went to the asylum were van Gogh was interned. In the shop, you could buy art therapy from the patients that are still there. They had a beautiful little chapel. Then we visited the Roman site of Pont du Gard. It was a good day.

End of day 2.

On the way home. Just a random fortified city not on the map. Dinner. Done.

Day 2.5

Fontenay Abbey. Holy crap!
