I left La Rochelle with no particular destination in mind but as the Loire Valley was on my route home
and the recommendations i had from fellow travellers on how nice the villages on the Loire were i headed off to Poitiers via Nort.After a whistlestop tour of Poitiers it was Tours next stop.I took the motorway which was toll free,I came off the m/way before Tours as i dislike large towns /city's and headed for Blois via St Avertin and Mont Lois and intended to stay at Chaumont.On arrival at Chaumont the town centre aire was very busy so i then decided to head on a bit further to Blois.This decision got me a great parking spot with a fantastic view on the Loire in a delightful little town .I also again met some fellow very friendly fellow motorhomers with whom i spent a couple of delightful days and then continued my journey back up to Calais and sadly back home to await my return trip.
