I've done the rounds of the chateaux. Cool stuff if you like baroque
flamboyance and such. Have never been on the river, except in an
inflatable canoe when I was about 10! I dived overboard when menaced
by what looked like killer bees with pincers on their tail end. I
couldn't swim - until that moment. It's surprising how quickly you can
learn when the other choice is to drown!
