We hiked today from Chinon to Fontevraud-l'Abbaye. Much of the hike was on paved country roads – better for cycling than walking. We were pleased to see the dramatic outline of the abbey appear on the horizon as we emerged from the woods in the mid-afternoon. We got a room – and a very warm, English welcome – at a chambre d'hôtes called Chez Teresa. We were keen to visit the Abbey because William had come here on a school trip years ago. We wanted to share his experience, albeit belatedly!

Our delightful chambres d'hôtes, Chez Teresa, run by a friendly English couple who came here 9 years ago to make a new life:
