Lots of Castles and Da Vinci's House

After we left Paris we stayed in a little village called Cepoy. The place we stayed in was 900 years old. Everyday we drove out to see castles around the area and in the Loire Valley. We also saw DaVinci's House and some of his inventions. Da Vinci thought of lots of inventions which we use today, like bicycles, cars, parachutes, flying machines. He also invented lots of war machines like moveable bridges, machine guns and tanks. They never got invented in his time.
The Castles we saw were Versailles, where they signed a treaty after world war one and where Marie Antoinette was when the revolution happened in Paris and they killed the royals; Fontainebleu, Vaux Le Vicomte which the King stole off one of his men because he didn't like that the man had a grander palace then he did. He put the man in prison. We also saw Chambord Castle, Amboise Castle where Leonardo Da Vinci was buried, and Chenonceaux which is built over a river.
