March Across France

David and I are now in Saint-Coulomb, a small town between the cities of St. Malo and Concale in Brittany. We arrived here at about 1:30 pm today, after having driven across France for two days. We left Thones yesterday at 9:30 am and got to Tours at 5 pm. After looking for a place to wash our linens (to no avail), we decided to go have a drink at a chateau hotel/restaurant that we stayed at the last time we were in the Loire Valley. The proprietor remembered us and kindly offered us a free house cocktail served on the terrace as we admired the beautiful view. We then enjoyed a fabulous dinner in the restaurant.

This morning, we found a laundromat in Montbazon (just south of where we stayed last night), threw our sheets and towels in a washing machine, and went to a bar/restaurant for breakfast. After our wash was dry, we got back on the road for a relatively easy 3-hour drive.
