丝丝鱼SisiAnother sunny + showery day (I've gotten used to it every day this week) Driving 400 kilometers from Bordeaux Pauillac to the Loire Valley Loire is most famous for its castles, Chambord, Chenonceau, and other large and small ones... When I lived and worked in Paris before, I had visited all the major castles here. This time, I mainly wanted to stay for one night on the way back to Paris Airport. I chose Les Hautes de Loire (meaning the Loire Highlands) of Relais & Chateaux. The hotel is in a forest. I almost couldn't find the gate. It's too low-key. It feels very secluded all the way in. I was instantly in awe. There were not many guests today (but I still met an American group). The hotel upgraded the room to a higher level. It was very large and the view was very comfortable. The hotel's own Mi2 was fully booked (all blame the Americans...) So the hotel made a reservation for us at another restaurant 10 kilometers away. It was very delicious and cheap. 29 euros for two courses, 8-9 euros per glass of wine. The bill for two people was 80 euros. The cheapest meal of this trip [Grin][Grin] The oysters for the appetizer 🦪 are from Normandy and fresh~~ Okay, I'm going home tomorrow. I'll drive directly to the airport to return the car in the afternoon. This trip ended successfully. 4 Relais & Chateaux + 1 SLH, Relais & Chateaux is clearly the winner. It is indeed different in the French base.
