The third edition of Cadogan’s in-depth guide to the Loire gives readers all they need to know for a wonderful trip along France’s most famous river. Delve into the fascinating and often bloody history behind the spotless facades of the gleaming chateaux with Cadogan’s enthralling commentary; explore the mysterious troglodyte art that can be found in the twisting limestone caves and caverns; or sample a glass of Sancerre and other of the region’s excellent wines in the most stunning settings. Cadogan takes travelers through the major cities of Tours and Orléans, and to the famous Chateaux d’Ussé that supposedly inspired the story of the Sleeping Beauty, as well as revealing hidden treasures in less well-known corners of this beautiful valley.
