Appearances can be deceiving

Susan wrote last week about the drought affecting France, and the photos of the Loire River that make the water lever look even lower than it is. This photo is an interesting contrast, in that the water level looks quite low, but not too bad.

We have seen the water level lower earlier this year, and even lower in April 2019, but that was with the needle dam downstream open. The dam is now firmly closed. There are storms and rain forecast for this week, and we will be back at Chenonceau on Thurday, so we will be interested to see it the water level changes much.
