Today we began our journey towards Paris. Our first stop was in Ambroise where there is a magnificent castle that was home to Leonardo da Vinci. In fact, he is buried on the grounds.
It was a bitter cold windy day in Ambroise, certainly not what we expected this time of year.
Next stop was for lunch in Orleans, pronounced or-lay-on. Orleans is the Sister City to New Orleans...that's where NOLA got its name. After Katrina, this French city sent money to help the residents. They also invited students to come study in Orleans at the expense of the French city.
Orleans was the home of Joan of Arc & there is a large statue dedicated to her.
It was no fun trotting around this city as it was pouring rain:(. It would've been very pretty in more cooperative weather!
This cathedral, one of many on our trip, is St Croix.
