This week we are continuing our trip through Tours, the largest city in the Loire Valley. I am taking you through narrow streets with restaurants, cafés, brocante stores, lush creepers and beautiful architecture adding to the personality and appeal of this lovely city.
My friend R and myself stopped for a Sunday morning breakfast at a side-walk café...
Now who can resist these mouthwatering French pastries?
A French bakery called a Boulangerie..
Myself, enjoying a fresh croissant and café au lait...
The cathedral of Tours
Till next time...
All images taken by me except image #12 taken by my friend R

Dear ingrid, yet another fascinating insight into this part of France which remains relatively unknown to me. The flower shop, as indeed all the shops you show here, looks so stylish and elegant. Always restrained, but with an eye to every detail, the French present things so beautifully that one is instantly tempted to buy!
ReplyDeleteThe tall cathedral and the immaculate gardens are breath taking. It still boggles my mind how the French can eat all of that wonderful flaky pastry without gaining an ounce.
ReplyDeleteHi Ingie, Beeeautiful as always! Ditto for everything said above. You look as elegant as those shops my friend. I would've been out of place with my jeans and t shirt.. :) Looking forward to the next installment. (My hubby found a way around the problem of me not being able to leave a comment. Hooray for clever husbands!!)
