30th August 2015
A very comfortable night at Hotel La Paix, but we decided to get breakfast in the town, so kitted up and rode around the corner and found a little boulangerie serving take-away coffee and some very nice pastries.
A hot and sticky journey further south ensued, making our way out to Dreux via Les Andelys on a mixture of fine biking roads & tedious limits & speed humps through several villages.
After taking an age to do the first 100 miles, we got on faster 'N' roads from Chartres, stopping for a McD's lunch at Chateudun, desperate for a drink & a cool down, as temperatures hit 34 degs.
Suitably refreshed, it nevertheless remained a hot run down to Amboise via Vendome & Chateux Renault.
We located the Hotel Chaptal easily, locked the bike up in the street outside and got up to the room. No air con means it's going to be a sticky night.
A walk round the town, followed by a nice salad meal & a couple of Pelforths next to the fortress, before returning to the 'oven'!
