Summary
James begins his journey in Touraine, a region in central France famous for its medieval castles and picturesque villages. He went to the Chateau de Chenonceau, a beautiful Renaissance castle straddling the Cher River, and James went to the southwest to Provence, a region in southeastern France known for its lavender fields, hill villages, sunny climate, wine, food and twists and turns. We end our trip north to Burgundy, a region in eastern France known for its hills, and the Loire Valley, a region in central France known for its castles and vineyards. During his visits, including to Chateau de Chambord, the largest castle in the Loire Valley, James wrote about the people he met, the places he visited, and the culture he experienced.
