South of Paris along the river Loire, is a series of beautiful castles and palaces. This is a wonderful tour to take while in France. We drove along the river visiting these beautiful castles for a few days. Cycle touring would be even greater for this area. In the springtime when it is not too hot and everything is green and fresh. If you go to the Loire, you can choose to pay and enter each of the castles, but you might find that after a while they all seem the same. If you choose to just view them from outside, you will not be let down. They are absolutely gorgeous without going inside.
Oh...yeah. Obviously I like photos of castles with their reflections in water.
