Richelieu and on to Chinon

This stretch of road seemed to have every truck in France on it!



Cardinal Richelieu 
 
Richelieu gifted many properties in this model town. Such gifts helped him curry favour and keep power. The town is laid out in a grid surrounded by walls, with a couple of plas for community use of course.
 

The gates to Cardinal Richelieu's estate. His chateau is no more.

Not a bad camp site.

Then it was on to Chinon on the Loire. 

Every door gives a peek at the life hidden within. This one has many generations of stories 

Chin chateau. We camped up behind it.


The Loire.
