We were woken at 12.15 am with a call from Jim at JFK Airport on his way back to the Uk. We wished him a happy birthday as he mentioned his trip to the US went well.
The night was full of broken sleeps; at about 3.00am the tow-truck man opposite had a call-out and he didn’t leave quietly. The car he returned with appeared to be a complete write-off. The bigger rigs started rolling passed at the wee early hours – all in all, a very noisy stopover! But whose complaining!
Left la Guerche and stopped at Caron, market day – took a look around the market, had a coffee, phoned Jim and then left for Angers. The day was beginning to show some true summer potential.
Driving into Angers we were surprised by the sudden appearance of the imposing ramparts and towers of the Chateau and the walled city. We parked close by, had lunch and decided to stay for the next couple of days. We purchased a “24-hour Pass” and then proceeded to explore this charming city by visiting the Fine Arts Museum, the 12th century cathedral , the medieval town-house, Maison d’Adams and the road-train tour of the city.
