Beaugency & Orleans



We passed Orleans without stopping on our way to Paris. We stayed in a nearby town named Beaugency, in a youth hostel. Although "youth", beside us there were just full bus of Hungarian seniors staying there who were touring Châteaux of the Loire Valley. Even the receptionist was at least 70 - he reminded me of Hemingway, with his well kept silver beard and the appearance of an old salt (no pipe though).
