    Mmmmm, Nutella.

    Wonderful pictures, Robert, thank you. This village very closely resembles Montichiari, the northern Italian town where I lived for 2 years. Beautiful! I miss it terribly.

    If you had been near Anger, you might have come across another kilt-wearer; a very keen SCDer from Japan.
    He has a good collection of kilts himself, and to make sure he is not the only one, buys kilts (only the best!) for his French friends.

    A very interesting tour. Thanks for taking us along, Robert. Lady Chrystel certainly knows how to dress her man!

    Great photos. I loved the Loire Valley and its wines, especially Chinon and St Nicolas de
    Bourgueil. Hope you got to sample plenty.
