2 July Savonnieres to Saumur

Great camp site, at Savonnieres, Only Camp, had a good meal just next to the campsite.
We decided to visit the gardens at Vilandry, just a few miles along from Savonnieres.
They are stunning. Well worth the visit, there was so much variety, too much to replicate in our plot back home though.
Then off along the river Cher, and then back to the Loire. We stayed close to the river for much of the day. Quite a number of cyclists about now. We stopped for lunch in Brehement, beside the river, shade, picnic bench and views!
The route was well signed and easy to follow. A mix today, Tarmac, cobbles, ( not our favourite), packed earth, which was fine as it was dry. Part of the route took us a short way in land on small lanes which were great as they often had shade. We eventually got back to the Loire and stopped for refreshments at Candes. Then along the river to Saumur. We found a hotel on the riverside, John & Jenny went off to look for the campsite.
Mileage:- 44  Total:- 723.5
