Severe looking cathedrals with intricate carvings tower high above the streets of Tours.

Old, historic chateaus dot the Loire Valley.

My fiance, Alex, and I roaming the Medieval-like streets of Tours, France.

Tour’s city center boasting charming store fronts and creperies.

Remember Tin Tin? That adored cartoon created by Belgian cartoonist Hergé? This was the chateau that inspired his home!

Elated in front of magnificent castles in the Loire Valley.

Stained glass windows with religious scenes stand tall inside the castles.

Posing in front of the beautiful Chateau de Chenonceau that was built over the river.

What once was Da Vinci’s home while in France.
