Martizay Today

We started with an early morning walk around Bonneval. We were out of bed by 6.30am and we did a forty minute brisk walk around  the village and canal. 

Early morning by the canal at Bonneval. 

A quick breakfast as the day was starting to heat, and, we were away setting our sight for a lovely area in Martizay. 

By 10 o’clock the temperature climbed to over 30° as we poodled along the very fertile planes above the Loire. We crossed the Loire near Blois and followed the river along to Amboise. 

The Loire with the Chateau at Amboise in the distant background. 

A quick stop to fill our LPG gas cylinder - only €7.00 for about ten days running our cooking and our fridge - and, it was only half empty!

By the time we arrived at Martizay the temperature had reached 38°. Shade all that mattered - and we found some - a little relief at the aire. The later arrivals weren’t as lucky for the local council had cut back all the other trees! To hot to do any exploring- perhaps early in the morning!

Wherever you go you come across old Chateaux.
