One day in Tours

The picturesque city of Tours was the last stop of my trip in France before I depart for Vienna. I spent the last day of my visit in Loire Valley sightseeing in Tours, visiting the Château de Chenonceau, dinning at “Le Saint Honoré” and also lodged in the most charming Bed&Breakfast, called “Maison Jules”.

The most charming Bed&Breakfast in Tours

“Maison Jules” was one of my most favorite spots I saw in Loire Valley. I had breakfast together with the owner of the guest house, Alexandra, who told me that she was selling hotels in Paris in the past and that her father is an interior designer. No wonder this villa is soooo charming! (Cheers to people with excellent taste) My room was the Room Grégoire, but I had a quick glance into another room with butterfly wallpaper that left me impressed!

A trip to Loire Valley - The Viennese Girl travel blog

With only one day in Tours, I had a limited time to explore the city. so I was lucky enough to have a greeter who showed me the historic centre of Tours in the morning and brought me to one of the most beautiful squares in France, called Place Plumereau. After that, I caught the train to the Château de Chenonceau where I spend the rest of the day.

What a pity the press trip in France finished here. I’ll be back soon!

Château de Chenonceau

France, Travel

Château de Chenonceau

Sometimes I catch myself daydreaming. I close my eyes and I like to think that I have a room at the Château de Chenonceau where I spend endless days watering the roses and having promenades in the garden, and where I invite the neighbors for evening champagne parties. And then I stop daydreaming and realize that instead of having a room at the Château de Chenonceau, I have a little room in the 4^th district of Vienna and that I need to work, work, work, to get things done and move to a new apartment at the end of this month.

But it’s not bad at all because I also realize how lucky I am that I got the chance to visit the Château de Chenonceau. After all, it’s The Viennese Girl who is living the fairy tale life and not me. I am just the editor behind this blog.

The most visited castle in France after Versailles

I hope you also travel vicariously through my photos, or even better, I wish you also get the chance to visit the French château. Château de Chenonceau, the most visited castle in France after Versailles. If you plan to visit that romantic gem in Loire Valley, I suggest you find a place to stay in Tours (check this one) and take the train to the castle. Bon Voyage!

Pretty Amboise

France, Travel

pretty Amboise (13)

Here is to another pretty little town, called Amboise, which I was happy to visit during my last trip in France. Upon my arrival at the hotel, I was welcomed by Sylvie, the owner of the charming hotel Au Charme Rabelaisien, and her lovely dog. We had a nice chat while I was giving a bunch of hugs and kisses to the little Jack Russell Terrier.

If you have been a friend of The Viennese Girl blog, you probably have noticed how much I love dogs, especially the small ones. Later on, Sylvie helped me with my heavy luggage (too many goodie bags from Paris) and accompanied me to a beautiful loft suite on the third floor, overlooking the city and the royal Château of Amboise (bring me back please).

First thing on my list of places to visit in Amboise was the royal Château of Amboise. But Sylvie told me that I shouldn’t miss the chance to visit the market along the river as well.

Amboise is a small town and my hotel was centrally located, therefore everything was easily reachable on foot.

I went to the market and fell in love with the straw bag that you can see in the pictures of this blog post. The bag matched perfectly with my Marc’o Polo sandals that were super comfy for getting around Loire Valley.
