Round and Round in the Loire Valley

One of the things some visitors to France comment on is just how many trafffic roundabouts there are in France. And they are not wrong. The statistics bear this out and show that France is a world leader in roundabouts.

What could be more fun than going round a few in the Loire Valley with us in our classic Citroens? This one in the photo is near the Chateau of Chenonceau and has a piece of an historic modular bridge in the centre. The bridge was erected to replace one over the Cher that was destroyed in the Second World War, and only replaced by a modern permanent bridge a few years ago!
