This 560-mile French Bike Trail Has Châteaus, Charming Houseboats, Surreal Gardens, and Limestone Wine Caves

"The Royal Fortress of Chinon felt deeply historical—inhabited for some 3,000 years with castle beginnings in the 10th century—and its Joan of Arc connections and exhibition of related artifacts made it well worth a visit; I also tried the HistoPad tablets, which overlay 15th-century images on the grounds and create a playful, educational experience." - Joe Baur
