John writes – We set out to see the Chateau of Chenonceau, just about a kilometer away from our hotel here in Chenonceaux. Note that the chateau’s name has the singular form, while the town appears to be a plural. We are given to understand that this is deliberate, to emphasize the uniqueness of the chateau, perhaps?
Just before getting into the car, we notice that just beyond the parking lot is a beautiful flower, herb and vegetable garden. Perhaps some of these are ingredients used in the restaurant.
