The American cemetery is just beautiful with its vista. we were able to look up some relatives that are buried there. Our trip included Mont st Michel which is nice to see but a huge tourist trap. you need to get there when they open and head to the top before all of the busloads arrive. We too used Amboise as a home base to see all of the Chateaus in the Loire valley. A must see are the gardens at Villandry. We have been to France 4 times now with our last trip in June to the alps and Burgandy. We rent a car and driving is very easy. We always end our trips to France with 4-5 days in Paris , we usually stay in the Latin quarter about a block and half from Notre dame. There is so much to do including people watching when sitting at a cafe. [/QUOTE]
