If you can only see one...

Favorite thing: If you can only see one chateau, see Chenonceaux for its stunning setting on the river and its colorful history. Also: Blois has history (think Queen Margot); Chambord is imposing; Azay-le-Rideau is charming; Cheverny is a little gem, and still inhabited; Chinon is fortresslike; and Saumur has a lovely little town, is somewhat off the beaten path, but offers a lively sound and light show. Also: Fontevraud is a lovely abbey (but transportation connections were weirdly French when I was there--I seem to remember buses only on certain days of the week at odd hours)...

Favorite thing: tour the inside chambers of le Château de Chambord. The photo here is of the King's bed. Apparently the King and Queen had seperate bedrooms, but ironically enough, they had a secret door connecting the two!

a mannequin in a shop window

Favorite thing: In Tours, there are a lot of shops. You'll find everything you need. And the prices are good (quite cheaper than Milan!).
From La Fayette store to little shops!

Vinci center

Favorite thing: Tours is also a congress city.
In the city center there's the new and modern congress palace named Vinci center.
It's in front of the train station.
Nice architecture!
