Saturday, like all days was filled with the events that mold men's lives; and their heads (see below.) It started leaving Angers when we happened upon a Saturday morning farmer's market like none I've seen and some fabulous almond croissants- serendipity.  Then on to Montreuil- Bellay chateau; arriving early we went wandering the old town and came across an old hotel called Le Splendid Hotel which was a bit of an overstatement :/. A mandatory guided tour was in French but we enjoyed the girl guide who was very animated and fortunately we had a translated brochure to help us with the program. The kitchen and some of the furnishings were exceptional, unfortunately no photos were allowed except in the wine cave. Then on to Breze where most of the castle is underground (troglodyte), the new 18th century chateau was built on top. The underground was really slick meandering in and out of the very deep moat. Finally, on to Usse Chateau which was a fairy tale castle in a beautiful setting complete with Sleeping Beauty display. Unfortunately, as we finished in the moat cave Lynn smacked her head on the stone doorframe. It not only hurt like hell, it caused a serious incident when it registered a 3.9 on the Richter scale. We got some ice for it then drove to our hotel in Chinon- a really sweet place. Walked the town, got some pastry and cheese, and retired early to allow her head to return to (?) normal.
