Nice little castle. If you're nearby, you can take a look. I took the toll, because without it it would have taken an hour longer to get to Orléans. On the way there was an Intermarché and a Carrefour where you could fill up relatively cheaply (20 cents cheaper).

An interesting château with a focus on the history of perfume, its production and the corresponding bottles. The journey to Orléans was toll-free.

Arrived in the afternoon and did a quick tour of the city. The historic city center is easy to reach by bike. Tomorrow I will explore the city more thoroughly. The parking space cost €19.20 for 2 nights including tourist tax.

Went to the Jeanne d'Arc house and the Musée du Beaux Artes. The Jeanne d'Arc exhibition in Rouen was better, but covered more of the end. In Orléans it was more of the beginning. I also cycled through the old town and along the Loire.

The château is privately owned and was not open for tours. However, the local pastry shop had very tasty items.

A good destination for families with children. Their main focus was the presentation of dragons from different cultures.

It would certainly have been interesting if I had paid more attention to the opening times. Lunch break from 12-2pm. But it was the start of a vintage car tour.

Camping Car Park pitch, former campsite also with sanitary facilities, although they have become outdated over the years. It was nice to have a proper shower again.

Also a Roman city. The Fondation Vincent Van Gogh was actually the main reason for the visit. The museum was interesting, only 3-4 works by Van Gogh, but some works by artists who were inspired by him. The thermal baths and theaters were also worth seeing. There was also an amphitheater, but I had already seen that in Nimes

I drove on the Route National and not the motorway. I'm parked in a parking lot that is marked as OK in an app but as "forbidden" in Park4Night. No height limit and no prohibition signs. The place is definitely interesting, even if not a "must see". A mixture of Roman and medieval buildings. The Gallo-Roman Museum could have been interesting, but after Nime, Arles and Orange I couldn't see any more museums.
