What are the chances?

What are the chances that we get to the French countryside where there is usually not much to do and instead there is a festival in the town center and an art exhibit at the chateau in biking distance from where we were staying???!!!

Here is our chateau/hotel:


Gorgeous but simple, perfect for a glass of wine in the mid-afternoon after a day of bike riding and relaxing by the Loire River.

Here is the prestigious Chateau/Old Royal Property we visited:


The coolest part about this was that all of the grounds were dedicated to a huge exhibit that joined art and nature- I loved it!

Here is the festival we partied at:


Mussels and fries were the big thing. Wine and beer was 1 euro! And the best thing ever, fresh goat cheese from the farm in town, 2.50 euro! Amazing!

The country was a great relaxing escape from the beautiful city that is Paris (which we once again came back to love)!
