This sign sums it up. Each one of the towns this sign points to is home to a famous Loire Valley château. And there are many more, most open to the public for touring.
The intersection at the bridge in Montrichard on the Cher River.
To get to our town you would follow the small sign, Autres Directions (Other Destinations) and cross the bridge.
I've always wanted to live in a foreign country for a few years to learn the language. La Belle France looks lovely. Of course I could never get Bill to agree. Looks like a dream unrealized for moi.
I always have loved those two choices you have when driving in France: "all directions" or, "other directions"!! Pretty much covers the territory, non?
Living outside of Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher since 2003. You'll find here pictures and descriptions of our daily life in rural France, some travels, and other stuff about me, my husband Ken, and our dog Tasha.

I didn't know you lived in Autres Directions. Sounds pretty!

What an odd name for a town, "Autres Directions." But then Pennsylvania has "Bird in Hand," "Intercourse," etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clean and green environment ...

ReplyDeleteI love those kinds of signs :))
ReplyDeleteYou could always move to a town called "toutes directions" - it's usually just down the road from "autres directions" !!

judy, they have a bunch of 'em over here!
jean, hehehehe!
donna, pretty much!
michael, if they don't, there's always wine close by.
Saint-Aignan doesn't even get it's own sign?
ReplyDeletestarman, oh it does, just a little further down the road.
