The Chateau of Loire

My holliday begin by a visit of the Doué Zoo, near Anger.

It's a great Zoo, build in an old stone pit quarry. The stone served for building the "Château de la Loire".
There is some cute animals :

A giraffe


An otter at the Doué Zoo.

And other a bit frightening :

A leopard


A vulture

Beautiful but where are the castle ?


Castel of Ussé, the Chateau who inspire the classic fairy tale The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood.


Amboise at night.


Chenonceau


The very long lobbie of Chenonceau, do you see the end of it ?


Chambord


Chambord


What's this, Star Wars cruiser ? No, this is inside the stairs of Chambord !!!


Sunset on the Loire, a nice view to finish this holliday, isn't it ?
