Subject: Re: The Loire Valley and Normandy
A brief note about hub/base lodging in Loire Valley and Normandy ... we just returned from 3 nights in each location. We will write glowing full reviews later.

For now, I recommend to you 2 bed and breakfasts, each with charming hosts, superb lodging, and unique touches for the area:

In Normandy, 20 minutes south of Caen: http://www.geocities.com/lacaillerie_acres/

Just south of Amboise in the Loire Valley: http://www.fiefgentil.fr.fm/

Feel free to write for additional information.
