After a delightful breakfast with Aneke & Yves we all drove together to Saumur. We were deviated all over the place for what turned out to be a family cycling day along the banks of the Loire, When we got there we found we were in the middle of a 'fete' for cyclists. There were a number of exhibitions and lots of people dressed up in period costume. They looked oh so French.
We visited the Saumur Chateau and took some photo's of the panorama down to the Loire. We made our way to the Cave Ackerman, where we did the cave tour and had a taste of their sparkling wine. They make a sparkling wine that is, apparently, quite famous although it is not champagne.
On the way home and in the evening we found it difficult to find somewhere for a meal and we ended up at a Pizzeria in Brissac (overlooking another beautiful chateau,Chateau Brissac).
