We went on a day trip last week to the Loire valley, famous for its châteaus. Of course the kid in me wanted to go to the zoo first - it had géant pandas(!) - but I really enjoyed châteauing as well. The zoo was one of the best I have ever been to, so many animals to see and the enclosures for the animals were quite open, large and well maintained. Highlights of course included the pandas - even if they spent the entire time sleeping, and watching the baby animals, especially the gorillas.
Château de Chenonceau was also breathtaking. The castle, full of beautiful flower arrangements and period decorations, was stunning, and the grounds, including the gardens and maze were exquisite. This was the perfect day trip - incredibly fun, and definitely left me wanting to return!
