We started our European travel season with a quick trip to Nantes, France and the Loire Valley. It had been twelve years since we had visited this part of France. It was just as lovely as we remembered. We enjoyed the beautiful countryside, lavish chateaus, charming villages, and some great food and wines. Random photos below.
