Post script to Lin Sue and Bill's trip to Langeais, France

I forgot to include any information about Langeais and why it typifies why we love small towns in France.

The chateau is really beautiful and is run by a private foundation. The rooms have been lovingly filled with great furniture and the displays focus on the marriage of Anne of Bretagne (age 14) to the 21 year Prince Charles. There was also a photo exhibit from the private collection of the foundation's founder that included images circa 1800 of exotic places like India, Egypt, Syria, and Japan. One photo of a Japanese family in their garden looked like it was out of "Pacific Overtures".

Anyway, we had lots of time to kill before our train back to Tours so we went to the local Cultural Exhibition. The gentleman who ran it was so excited to have us there, he gave us a walk through of some of the more entertaining exhibits. The theme was 'tricks of the eye' and so you got to ask 'is it a frog or a horse?'. It was fun. He gave a small card/coin trick show for the people in the gallery that was very amusing as well. We had a great time.
