July 2002

My husband I visited France for the first time in July to celebrate our tenth anniversary.  We spent 3 nights in the Loire Valley, 3 in Burgundy and the final 4 in Paris.  This was probably one of the best trips we have taken.  We saw a lot of beautiful places and things, ate great food and enjoyed some excellent weather.

Short Version

We flew on a Continental Boeing 777 from Houston to Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport.  After a visiting an ATM to get some Euro's, we took the TGV from CDG to St. Pierre des Corps outside of Tours.  At the station we picked up a car from Avis .  It was just a short drive to our base for the next couple of days, the Chateau des Ormeaux outside of Nazelles.  After 3 days of exploring the Loire Valley we drove to Beaune in Burgundy and stayed at the Ibis Beaune Central.  We toured the area in and around Beaune for a couple of days. Then we  dropped off the car at the Dijon train station and rode the TGV back to Paris (Gare de Lyon).  We finished by staying at the Hotel Abbatial St. Germain in the 5^th.
