France

Magnificent gardens at another chateau. "Chateau" is french for castle.

We had ridden from Anger to Orlean. Bruce and Annette now needed to return to London to fly to the US. They were going to rent a car to drive through Paris and then to Calais. Since there wasn't much to see between Orlean and Paris I hitched a ride. They dropped me off on the ourskirts of Paris and we said our goodbyes.
I then called André who I had met two years earlier while bike touring in Washington. He had a job giving bicycling tours of Paris. He gave me a private and fast-paced tour of Paris
