| On Saturday we visited the Chateau in Pompadour |
 |
 |
| Gerald and Jane taking shelter from the rain in the old coach house. Richard is comparing this one unfavourably with the Tesla... |
 |
| Still sheltering from the rain, in the old stables. I suspect the horses were better housed than most of the people. |
 |
| Horse skull |
 |
| The Chateau's Orangerie is now a stable for horses from the French National Stud |

 |
| By Monday the weather had improved and the horses were out for a gallop |
 |
| From Pompadour we went up to Saumur on the Loire. View across the river from our hotel room on Monday evening |
 |
| Le Pont Vieux |
 |
| Inside the Chateau at Saumur. This part of the building houses a small museum of china and tapestries |
 |
 |
| View from the battlements. Our hotel was the white building to the right of the bridge on the far side of the river |
 |
| Restoration and reconstruction |
 |
| Les Parapluies de Saumur These were the only photos I took (on my mobile). Richard took some better ones and I will post those as soon as we can work out how to download them! |
