The Loir Valley Chateauxs

We've arrived in the city of Tours in the Loire Valley south of Paris, but not before getting off at the wrong train station (could have been a million dollar mistake). In hindsight I think the announcement on the train was 'the next station is Tours' and not 'this station is Tours', still we got here.

The area is known for its many chateauxs and castles. Tabitha and I spent a day touring around four of the most famous.
