Ceri: Change of plan again. It rained so we decided not to walk through Chinon castle, but to drive to Fontevraud Abbey. Wow! Just when we felt we’d seen so much, this abbey was yet another masterpiece of beautiful French architecture with a rich history. Richard the Lionheart was buried there and our royalty still visits to pay their respects. The abbey is enormous, converted to a horrendous prison after the French Revolution then restored to its former glory in the 20th century. It also housed an impressive museum of modern art. It’s just amazing where we end up, purely because of a change in the weather. It’s been a wonderful day.
Now we are staying in comfort in a hotel in Saumur. What will tomorrow bring?
