Chateau Chinon and Mitterand museum

 Another very hot day (well about 30C).  After a quite relaxing morning we drove to Chateau Chinon where, after a quick explore and a nice lunch in a bar, we saw an interesting museum of Francois Mitterand’s presidency and all the gifts he’d been given from nations around the world during it.  Mitterand was Mayor of Chateau Chinon from the 1950s to 1981.  

We also climbed up to see a Calvary (Calvaire) where there were three crosses and some more stunning views of the Burgundy area.  We bought a bit more food on the way back to the campsite.  We got back and had a rest and a swim, then a beer at the bar and steak haché for dinner which we cooked at our tent.  There was a lot of thunder and rain during the night but we stayed dry.
