go to Chaumont sur Loire festival in 09

So this is the fourth..fifth year? I’ve wanted to visit this bonkers French festival. And it just so happens that the missus and I have been invited to a 30th birthday down the road on the opening weekend! (OK, 298km down the road but, hey.. it’s France ain’t it?)

Now, I’m thinking… extend the weekend a teeensy bit more.. a little more planning, and I could cycle from Ile De Re to Chaumont. How cool would that be. Very. Am now officially excited.

As well as the Chaumont garden festival… the International Garden Festival (IGF) just outside Dublin is the newest conceptual festival on the block. www.igf.ie
