A Walk in my Neighbourhood


Many houses in and around the Loire Valley in France are made out of tuffeau or limestone.
It is very sandy and soft and is easily excavated. Most of the famous castles are made out of this stone as well as whole villages.








 Stones of various ages and decay. This is part of my garden.


Villandry - one of the many beautiful palaces .

  3. wunderschöne Detailaufnahmen. Ich bin im Urlaub mit dem Fahrrad die Loire und den Indre von Orleans bis zum Atlantik geradelt und zurück. Das war wunderschön wenn man in der Ferne schon ein Schloss sehen konnte. Ich liebe diesen weissen Sandstein.
    Liebe Grüße

    ps... allerdings habe ich beim Abladen des Fahrrades fast mein Auto in der Loire versenkt, weil ich die Handbremse nicht angezogen htte ;)

    1. Ganz lieben Dank für Deinen Kommentar und Entschuldigung für die späte Antwort ( ich war unterwegs) Das Loiretal ist wunderschön und wenn man ein wenig landeinwärts fährt entdeckt man wunderschöne kleine Dörfer und jede Menge kleine Schlösser...und Weinproben ...und Restaurants!

  7. Thank you blog admin for this wonderful post,As a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from PCOS & Gastro Disorder and herpes, I decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My wife suffered pcos in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my everything and the symptoms were terrible, she always complained of heavy menstruation, and she always had difficulty falling asleep . We tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and I saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many others with similar body problems, and they left the contact of this doctor who has the cure to pcos . I never imagined polycystic ovary syndrome. has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it and in one months time she was fully okay even up till this moment she is so full of life. polycystic ovary syndrome. has a cure and he has herbal cure for Herpes,HIV/Aids,Diabetes,Neuro Disease,Cancer,Back Pain,COPD,Parkinson, and other disease you can visit Dr Itua herbal center website to read more www.drituaherbalcenter.com or email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks admin for such an informative blog.
