You could ' ve been heroes Freiburg <| sep |> That was quick . <| sep |> Hello ! I ' d say two or three days in the Loire valley are enough . I suppose you ' re planning to see the castles ? There are quite close to each other so you can easily visitsee 2 or 3 of them . Chambord is the most known , my favourites are Chenonceau , Amboise and Blois . If you know Tintin , you might want to check out Cheverny Herg ' s inspiration for the Marlinspike HallMoulinsart ' s castleIn Normandy , besides the MontSaintmichel I believe you can spend the night there you can cross the border and go to SaintMalo and Dinard . You can also go further north and check Deauville , Etretat . and the DDay beaches on the way up ! Another suggestion , the Marais Poitevin ! ' s only two hours away from The Loire valley by car .
