It was such a beautiful morning that I popped down to the river early this morning to walk Sybil . Le Thoureil is one of the prettiest villages perched on the river Loire half way between Angers and Saumur and just a 15 minute walk from our home.
The beautiful terrace overlooking the river behind the Tour des Hollandais
The Dutch family that built this beautiful house made their fortune trading wine.
One of the little alleys leading down to the Loire.
Beautifully peaceful and quiet at 7am.
Lovely wooden boats add to the charm.
These boats are reproductions of boats that worked on the river in the past.
Looking in the other direction!
La Tzigane – the boat that we use for our boat trips.
Last but not least – the vineyard we pass on the way. No herbicides here for the first time since we moved here in 2006. Bonne nouvelle!
