You're standing by the Chinon nuclear power plant, near the little town of Avoine. Chinon itself is about ten kilometres away. You're right in the Loire valley here, and yet this is one of the biggest nuclear plants in France. Roughly six percent of all the electricity the country uses comes from this one spot.
