There, from here

...and here, from there.

On Thursday evening we visited l'Île de la Métairie, a nature reserve and park on the Loire at the eastern edge of the agglomeration of Tours. I have no doubt Susan will do some research and write about the park soon.

While we were there I took this photo from the Plage de La Ville-aux-Dames (dangerous water, no swimming) of the row of chateaux on the northern bank of the Loire at Rochecorbon. From left to right: Les Hautes Roches (now a hotel), the caves of Marc Brédif (winemaker) with an Italianate looking terrace and troglodyte dwelling above, and the Chateau de Sens on the skyline.

Exactly twenty-four hours later we were visiting the caves of Marc Brédif, so I was able to take a photo of the Parc from their gateway. The photo above was taken from where the people in the photo below are standing.
