With a few days off we went to the Loire Valley. We started our three-day vacation in Chinon. Arriving in the evening we checked into the hotel Plantagenet, and walked along the Vienne River and through the old city streets. We ate dinner at the small restaurant, La Maison Rouge where we were served a delicious plate of several small appetizers including the regional goats cheese and Rillettes. Chinon is a beautiful starting point to a vacation in the Loire Valley; the lovely small town with its old buildings were beautifully illuminated at night from the high panorama look out point of the chateau fortress.
