Chisseaux (Indre-et-Loire) Le Moulin-Fort, moulin fortifié du XVIe siècle. Il s'agit d'un moulin à eau auquel on a ajouté des éléments de défense : machicoulis, archères, tours... Il est situé sur île du Cher, à proximité de l'écluse à aiguilles de Chisseaux. Ce moulin appartenait à Diane de Poitiers. La transformation en manoir est récente. Sur la façade nord, on apperçoit, un très beau monogramme constitué de deux D enlacés avec deux plumes. C'est le monogramme de Diane de Poitiers. Il a été entièrement refait par le scuplteur Patrick Kalita de Civray-en-Touraine. Chisseaux (Indre-et-Loire) Le Moulin Fort, fortified mill of the sixteenth century.

Chisseaux (Indre-et-Loire) Le Port Olivier et l'écluse. Au XIXe siècle, le Cher est canalisé depuis Noyers-sur-Cher jusqu'à Saint-Avertin. La commune, est pourvue en 1830-1840 d’un barrage à aiguilles sur le Cher, d'une écluse rive droite. L'écluse mesure 35 m de long sur 5,15 m de large. Le barrage est composés d'aiguilles en bois de 2,50 m de haut sur 7 cm de large et d'un déversoir sur la gauche. Le 7 juin 2010 le déversoir de Chisseaux tue 2 navigateurs qui tentaient de franchir le barrage. Le dangereux phénomène de rappel* est trop souvent méconnu. Le rappel est une : "Perturbation dangereuse dans l’écoulement de l’eau pouvant survenir en bas d’une chute d’eau. Cette perturbation entraîne une émulsion de l’eau, un mouvement de surface qui ramène l’eau vers la chute, un affouillement qui creuse une excavation au pied de la chute. Les barrages artificiels ou des chutes naturelles peuvent avoir un rappel à leur pied ce qui interdit totalement leur franchissement."

The room and hotel were clean and well presented, with the exception of the swimming pool which looked in dire need of refurbishment. The restaurant was a stark soulless room devoid of any character or coziness. The menu was rather limited also

We only stated a few hours as we needed a place to stay until the first train to Paris. It was very convenient to the station.

Hot air ballon ride in The Loire Valley France for my father's 60th birthday present. Hands down my favorite experience of this trip. We watched other balloons taking off from above while the sun began to set. We also got to see the chateaux we toured from a different perspective, gliding over Château de Chenonceau. Once we landed safely, we had a champagne toast. I highly recommend going on a hot air balloon ride in this area of France. It was absolutely breathtaking.
