Today we should have been out with an American couple who booked us for three consecutive days of touring. They would have been staying at our favourite Chateau Hotel, Domaine de la Tortiniere, then we were off to the Chateau of Chenonceau, lunch at the Bistrot le Terminus in Nazelles Négron followed by a visit to the mighty Royal Chateau of Amboise. We would have rounded off the day with a wine tasting and tour of the caves at Chateau Gaudrelle in Vouvray AOC. All this has had to be cancelled because of Covid19. We very much hope the travellers are at home and planning their next trip to France and will be booking with us again. We will be delighted to see them.
