Southern France suffered some extremely heavy storms this week.Huge hail stones took their toll on the fragile new growth of the vines damaging them severely.
Thankfully the Loire has avoided being hit by these tempêtes !
Curiosity aroused Augustin and I took an afternoon stroll along the route touristique des vignobles.A peaceful walk amongst the vines, vineyards and neigbouring villages.
Anticipating 2009 to be a hot summer I was encouraged to see the baby grapes had started to form.
