Our one stop in Brittany, Fougères, featuring one of Europe's largest medieval castles.  Grim walls, nice flags and flowers.  Great food!

Château Chenonceau, to our mind the best château we visited.  Built over the Cher River it has an intriguing history ranging from Henry II's mistress to WWII.  The water level is about six feet higher than normal  (and it had been higher).  Amazing that it has survived all these years ... and in such great shape.
