Yes, indeed But Loches is rather on the way to the Chateaux , or on the way back from either of the airfields, not a place where any significant sightseeing takes place, so I would normally have expected both aircraft to be in cruise at that point. It's quite a small town surrounded by woods and fields, so one in the town and one outside isn't surprising. Only one large building, not of great visual interest compared with the Chateaux on the Loire. Benign weather, good visibility. One report mentioned the aircraft were low, but no actual height indication. The Pioneer is a fairly fast microlight, both types have excellent visibility for the pilot. I'm really struggling to imagine how this happened.
