FRANCE...Montlouis-sur-Loire...(6)


When visiting the Loire Valley in the French countryside my friend R took me to so many beautiful villages and towns and Montlouis-sur-Loire was one of them. Montlouis-sur-Loire is situated next to the Loire river. The Loire Valley is known for it's white wines and the Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noir are the principle grapes of this region.








Montlouis-sur-Loire is a quaint town with narrow streets to stroll around and discover lovely restaurants, bakeries, flower shops, etc. 







A beautiful iron gate in the town of Montlouis-sur-Loire....one can't help to wonder what goes on behind this gate? I believe this property belongs to an artist....it makes it even more interesting! Doesn't it?






A beautiful view over the Loire river...

Till next time when I will share more about the Loire Valley.

  6. Lovely photos Ingrid - only in France can they make a patisserie look like a fashion boutique:-). I've so enjoyed these tantalising posts of your French escape!

    We are to France ourselves tomorrow for a week or two of bliss ...

    Have a great weekend.

  9. These serene country side pictures make me think of a more peaceful life, one that holds tremendous curiosity and wonder. I too have always adored the elegant shapes of the street lamps and the monumental gates to some magnificent estates.

  10. Dear Ingrid, I have much enjoyed your tour of the Loire valley, made, I am sure, all the more special for you with a good friend for company. The Blogosphere is so strange in many ways since I have found you, in the United States, via Madelief in the Netherlandsand and,now, am whisked away to France. A small world indeed.

    I am signing up as a 'Follower' in order not to miss out on any future postings.
