Yesterday we headed to the town of Blois for what was supposed to be a market day. That didn’t happen, but nevertheless it is a pleasant town beside the Loire, about a 45minute train ride from Tours. The agent at SNCF sold us a 3 day pass, so we can hop on and off without worry on the local trains. We walked around town, checked out the Chateau, found something for lunch and then hustled back to the station for an afternoon train back to Tours. After a nap, explored the cathedral Gatien in Tours, walked along the waterfront and then time for an Apero and dinner at Pl. Plumereau. Friday, we organized our gear and checked our bags at our hotel, Hampton Inn, and then took the tram up to the train station for trip to Amboise, about 25 minutes. Amboise has a very nice chateau at the top of town and was having its regular Friday market. After walking through the chateau and exploring the town a little, a quick crepe and back to Tours to pick up luggage and head back to Paris on the TGV.
