We've arrived in Blois and settled in to our AirBnB. It's part of a house built into the old city wall. Le Rue de Ramparts is on the otherside of our little walled garden.
From the street you walk through a passageway of carved limestone arches to our front door. Once inside, there is an oak beam 18 inches square that supports the rooms above. If you bumped into a Knight in armour anywhere in this house he would not seem out of place.
All this old world charm comes at a new world cost however. The walls are thick and strong, suitable to protect the city from siege in the 1300s, not to facilitate a decent WiFi signal in 2024. Our landlady is a sweet old French woman who goes on to her balcony to get a signal on her mobile phone, the idea of installing WiFi repeaters has almost certainly passed her by.
My regular post with photos would gobble up about a months worth of data roaming allowance so for now I'll give you a couple of days off from my wittering.
