The vineyard surrounding the Chateau has areas for motorhomes to park - and car parking space to sample some of the produce. It is such a serene location - and within walking distance of the town of Blaye, situated on the inlet at the mouth of the Garonne River.
We slept late and then took a mid morning walk into the town. Being an overcast day it was a very pleasant walk.
We checked out the town which has one of the largest defensive 17th century citadels you would find around France. Designed by Vauban it covers an incredible area overlooking the town and the large inlet. The purpose was to be part of an early defence for Bordeaux.
We returned to the Chateau grounds where we spent the rest of the day.
