Hotel D'Ville
We settle into our deck chairs and watch a very drunk man trying to fish with a stick and a piece of string. Very entertaining.
We join the crowds to watch France V Germany in the world cup. It was good to be part of it even though France lost.
We were amazed by just how many of the young people were smoking. It seemed about 80%
A true supporter, with his goat. Don't you take your goat to town?
The Loire was not the river we had imagined. It was wide, shallow and relaxed. There was something quite soothing about it. This picture shows how shallow it is. One swimmer is standing up in the middle of the river.
Something else that was quite different about the river were the boats. We haven't come across this style before.
Other than the old town and the main street, Tours wasn't that impressive. It was extremely hard to navigate, cramped, dirty. In hind sight we would have been better off staying in Amboise.
