Montressor & Loches

Then on to Loches via Montresor “the most beautiful village in France” according to the guidebooks. We walked round the village and the riverside walk, which was indeed scenic, but not outstandingly so.

The Royal City of Loches was well worth visiting, with city walls and ramparts, the Keep with its Louis XI tower including the quaintly named “la salle de la question” (torture chamber) and the Royal Lodge, including the Charles VII room and Joan of Arc room (where Joan of Arc met the Dauphin in 1429).

Changed plan and camped in Loches in a nice site by the river.
