Photos - October 2022

I am currently in the Loire Valley after a fairly arduous day and a half of travel from North Devon. I took a total of nine trains, two busses and a taxi to get to this part of France. The photos above were taken on my first train, south-east through Devon from Barnstaple to Exeter.

After staying at my sister’s place in Deptford overnight I caught a 4am night bus and the first tube of the day from Great Portland Street Station to St. Pancras.

Barnstaple - London - Paris

12 hours / 7 Trains / 2 Buses

I got to Paris, Gare du Nord at around 9.30am then on to Montparnasse. From there, south-west to Saumur and the Loire Valley.

The Chateau de Saumur overlooking the Loire River. The Chateau (like most buildings in this area of France) was built using Tuffeau; a type of limestone mined here in the Loire Valley.
