Guest book
“The people in the region treated us wonderfully and the dinner we had the last night at the restaurant in town you recommended was absolutely fabulous. We managed to hit Samur, Chinon (my favourite town) and many of the Chateaux on the list, including Chambord. What a wonderful country. Great food and wonderful scenery. We spent part of our last day at Chinon and Jill found a painting that she liked and bought. I will always remember a wonderful time.” Bill Johnson from Plymouth, Minnesota
marks the location of the property.
