Tue 15 Jul- after the included buffet breakfast, we departed and visited the Jardin d'Orsan [http://www.prieuredorsan.com], a lovely garden with all kinds of inspiration and good ideas for Kiyomi, especially using and recycling the garden materials. Also, espalier apple trees and other kinds, topiary, raised beds, arbors, etc.
For lunch we stopped by and had a salad that was a full meal in itself, with 6 or 7 different items, as if served from a salad bar. It would have been the entree to the menu of the day, but we were still full from breakfast.
We continued on to the Chateau de Ygrande [http://www.chateauygrande.com], a more upscale chateau, very picturesque, with horse stables and the practice area for competition riding, a pool, a long driveway lined by huge old trees, and a very nice view of the countryside. The GPS was invaluable for guiding us here.
For dinner, we just had our salad: tomato, avocado, grapes and white Muscat wine.
