Massages-bien-etre Jocelyne Rouilly

Reviewed By eatyervegtibbles - Glacier National Park of Canada, Canada

I had time for only one massage (lower leg), but glad I made the effort! The effects of Jocelyn's lower leg massage lasted for days on my traveller's swollen calves and ankles - it was amazing! I have travelled to many countries and have had many spa/massage experiences, but this one tops my list! Jocelyne is so careful, took her time with me and was super patient with my French (but her English got us through!). She used just the right pressure. Her massage alone would be worth the return trip to this wonderful city! And her beachy-blue studio is the BEST. Merci, Jocelyne! You found your calling! :)

Pont Canal de Briare

This is an incredible architectural feat - we traveled over the bridge in a canal boat and then went back to bike on it.

Reviewed By edhimal

One of those strange constructions that you can find in France. It's worth the visit because of: -its uniqueness; -it's located in a nice and quiet region; -it's well kept; -the possibility of a small stroll; -... And take the opportunity to shoot some nice photos.

Chateau de Meung sur Loire

At the gates of Chambord, from the sophistication of its drawing rooms to its unsettling underground passages, you will be astonished while discovering this private chateau and the illustrious figures who have stayed there.

Reviewed By Beto79 - Lille, France

This was one of the highlights of our recent trip to the Loret region. The castle is very well preserved; the interior of the castle is beautiful and it has many old furniture; well-signalled (at least for French speakers) and the surroundings are quite nice to spend the day. Consider to visit the place on Sunday; so you can also see the local market. The gift shop has nice products from the region. Plan well; although it is relatively close to Orleans, the frequency of trains is a little bit sparse.

Brick decoration, open gallery, and gardens surrounded by a water mirror make this castle typical of the Renaissance.

Chateau de La Ferte Saint Aubin

Reviewed By saladboy - Liverpool, United Kingdom

This is a lovely and charming lived in medium sized chateau which is experiencing an ongoing restoration programme. The stable areas has numerous horse riding paraphernalia to look at plus dome interesting games which you can play. The main house has a number of interesting rooms which are quite well described even in English. In the basement area where the kitchen is situated we experienced a baking session! The chef was demonstrating the making of madeleine biscuits! The entry price enables the family to continue restoring this lovely building. There is lots to do but what has been achieved Is amazing. The rest of the chateau has an interesting patina. The gardens are interesting and on a nice day it is worth an amble.
