Another Detour
This one nearly resulted in another one of our famous off-road excursions similar to our Scottish expedition through sheep pastures in the dead of Winter. Since the chateau had been so "meh", I figured there had to be more in Montsoreau for it to be deemed a "Beaux Village". Following a long stone wall that paralleled a narrow street we rose up above the heights of the town. Hoping the road would bring us to a beautiful vista above the village and castle we continued upward as the road grew ever narrower. Finally it ended at a small farm's driveway - with the farmer in the driveway with abucket of feed for his sheep. With a quick salute we reversed in his driveway and headed back downhill praying no one was coming up this way. This picture is about as good as the view got.
