 Go to Loire Valley
 From the Cadogan Guides series. The historic playground of English and French royalty is today the playground of the sophisticated traveler, by virtue of its lavish chateaux, spectacular son-et-lumieres, concerts, and world-famous vineyards. Cadogan travels along the Loire river from Orleans, home of the French perfume houses and site of Joan of Arc's greatest victories, to the surreal world of Anjou with its cave houses and restaurants. The guide explores Blois, its magnificent chateau and National Centre of Magic; Tours, the "mini-Paris" of the region; and medieval Touraine, "the garden of France". There is imaginative advice on making the most of the Valley's renowned beauty -- from hot-air ballooning to canoeing along the Loire itself. - detailed listings and advice: where to stay, eat, drink and browse
- entertaining accounts of history, art, culture and the countryside
From the book
'The Loire Valley is the most French of regions and yet no administrative region at all... Foreign students flock to the Loire Valley, as the purest of French is supposed to be spoken here Ð there's said to be no regional accent. So the Loire Valley is a region which isn't a region with an accent without an accent...'"I like these Cadogan Guides Ð they make me want to up-sticks and go off exploring "
