| Amboise. |
Once again, we should have been working today, but our unfortunate clients, an American family, have had to cancel. So here is a taste of what we would have been doing with them.
We were to have met in Amboise at 9:30am. Unusually, this was not a tour we were going to do in our own car. Instead I was going to meet the family, whose agent had organised a people carrier and driver for them. They were coming down from Paris and I was going to
leave my car in Amboise and transfer to their vehicle. Also unusually, we were to go to
the
Chateau of Chambord where I would give them a guided visit of an hour and a
half. Normally we don't offer Chambord in our tours, but for travellers who are really keen to see it and are willing to start in Amboise, we can make an exception. After that we were to head for Cour Cheverny for lunch together (depending on
restaurant availability, Bracieux would be an alternative). From lunch
we would have gone to the Chateau of
Chenonceau where I would have done a guided visit of 2 hours. Then we
would head back to Amboise to
visit a wine boutique for a tasting. I
would have left the group at about 18:00.
