We visited castles! We stayed in a castle in France, outside of Tours. No, we didn't go on a tour, that is the name of the place. We visited big castles, and grand castles and small ruined castles. We liked the really old ones best. Look at these stairways!
They were so narrow and windy! We got dizzy after awhile of walking up. But they went up and up and up! Pip took one and I took the other... it was a DOUBLE spiral staircase! That's at Chambourd. Two paws up! 
Chambourd is pretty empty actually. Except for this one room which was a tribute to brave beagles! We know two beagles who would have loved it. But there was no tribute to brave otters. So we went to the next castle.
This castle also had tributes to beagles! And other dogs. But they don't want the dogs to get too excited about all their praise. This castle is named Cheverny. It was pretty! Pretty gardens. Lots of dogs! Loud dogs. 
Then we went to find more castles! We went in search of the really old castles.
Some of them were really really old and there were only bits of them left. No ceilings! Wow. That would be bad when it rained. This is us by an arrow slit - it's so narrow! We like visiting castles!
We finally found our very own size castles!
Castles fit for an otter!
