Last weekend, my friends Elizabeth (IU), Allison (Wisconsin), and I fulfilled our subconsciously suffocated dreams of being a princess during a trip to the Loire Valley. On Friday, we took the TGV (train à grande vitesse, or really fast train) to Paris and then a smaller train west to the city of Blois (pronounced BLWAH--quite possibly the hardest word to say without making a strange facial contortion). We arrived Friday afternoon, checked into our hostel, and started our castle hunt. We took a bus to see Cheverny, but by the time we got there, it had closed approximately one minute prior. Bummer. But we took pictures of the trees that blocked it out of our sight anyway. Saturday morning we frolicked around Blois. Pictures from that morning's adventures:
The church across from the Blois castle. Huge trees.
Blois has lots of nice rooftop views
The straightest road in France or the only straight road in France
