The hotel Diderot at Chinon boasted about their 50 types of jam breakfast. As breakfast is rarely included in the price, we normally just grab a croissant on the road, but I love jam, so we thought we would splash out. Then we ended up staying another night, and as breakfast was so good the day before, we splashed out again. Here was the breakfast order of progression.
Organic apple juice, big hot pour-your-own coffees with steamed milk, yogurt with goats cheese, honey and walnuts, a big basket of baguettes, brioche and croissants, and then there were the jams. So many different jams lined the centre of all the tables in the breakfast room all sitting happily with a colourful spoon. We were advised that if we didn't like any of our flavours we were to move tables or go and swap the jams. yummmmmm
So after our second amazing breakfast in Chinon, we sadly packed up and left our lovely little hotel and headed towards Bourgeuil for a quick look around town. After a lovely stroll around the Bourgeuil market, we kept driving onto Villandry to go check out the castle that is famous for it's garden. And a glorious garden it was, filled with impressive hedge work, a maze and the most amazing vegetable garden I have ever seen in my life. After our castle visit we drove to Tours, stopping for coffees and wines along the way. After being in tiny towns for the past few days, it was fun to get into Tours and walk around the busy streets stopping for dinner and drinks .
