Vendôme... no more than a two hour stay

On the 13th of April we ventured to Vendôme, a small town in the Loir-et-Cher region. We arrived off the train expecting to be in or very near the town centre. We soon found out we were two to three miles outside the town and had to get a bus. The bus trip turned out to be a comic one... 
Shona "vous allez au centre de la ville?"
Bus driver "oui,où aimeriez-vous aller? "
Shona "je ne sais pas?"
Bus driver "pour rendez-vous?"
Shona "non, juste pour un voyage"

Vendôme is a pretty little town with little rivers everywhere and beautiful flowers and plants. As the heading suggests one can cover this town in two hours with lunch. It has the remains of an old castle looking over the town and if you wish to venture up the steep hill to it you will be met by a lovely garden and seating area over looking the surrounding areas. For me the nicest areas of the town were those by the water and in particular the old gate into Vendôme.
