Azay-le-Rideau

Château d'Azay-le-Rideau
It has the appearance of a medieval fortress but the romance of a fairy tale castle.  Located in the heart of Touraine, the group was awed by its beauty as its spires reflected against the surrounding moat. 


First group photo of the trip - 
Another shot of group - sans photographer.

Side view - Melissa contemplating how Noe would build her a moat.
What can I say?  Breathtaking?
The "backyard" of the Chateau - set beautifully against the blue sky and reflecting pond. 
The group in the garden envious of the vegetables, herbs, and flowers still growing. 
Group admiring an American Corvette in France.
Our first déjeuner - salad Nicoise, vin Rose, brie and the mandatory baguette.  Yum!

  1. I almost started crying when I saw these shots! Ahhhh... What beauty and perfection!! It reminds me of Sleeping Beauty's Castle at Disneyland - - But, it is THIS place that looks like the "happiest place on earth."
