I've scanned over half of the slides from our second Loire Valley vacation back in 2001, so I'll start posting some of them now. This is the same vacation rental house in Vouvray that we found in 2000. We liked it so much that we rented it again the next year. That time, we arrived in spring toward the end of May. The weather was much nicer, the days were longer, and we could spend more time outdoors.
An evening shot of our rental house. Kitchen on the left, living room on the right. Digitized color slide, Vouvray, Spring 2001.
Our plan was to spend about ten days in the Loire and a few days in Paris at the end. I watched most of the French Open on television in Vouvray, then the rest in Paris, and actually went to Roland Garros for the women's semi-finals. More on that later.
An absolutely perfect photo.
ReplyDeleteWere the bedrooms on the same floor in the back?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely looking place and a beautiful photo. Do you know if it is still a vacation rental?
ReplyDeleteNice looking place :)
ReplyDeleteAN amazing image, the color of the light inside and out is stunning.
ReplyDeleteI see why you wanted to stay there again.
ReplyDeleteIs that flash or moon light?
ReplyDeletemitch, I'm glad you like it!
ReplyDeletechm, yes! Good memory. It's neither flash nor moonlight. Just the ambient light outdoors and lamps inside.
bettyann, no. A few years after we were there we found out that the lady who owned it (and the big manor house across the street) sold and moved out. The little house is now a private residence.
judy, it was!
travel, thanks!
evelyn, it was comfy and pretty private and we could walk into town.
