От издателя: The Loire Valley is renowned for its fabulous châteaux and gardens. Indeed the area between Gien and Angers is known as ‘the garden of France’. But for hundreds of years the Loire was an important trading and transport route, and the site of many historically significant events. In the Middle Ages the kings of France began to settle in the valley, attracted by its idyllic setting and gentle climate, and it was here that the influence of the Italian Renaissance took hold and flourished. The Loire is sometimes called ‘the last wild river in Europe’. But it is a peaceful river that flows past numerous beautiful châteaux and towns. The area has been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site due to its unique cultural landscape: a complex harmony of architecture, society and economy. This beautifully illustrated sketchbook follows the river upstream, in the footsteps of the kings of France, artists Leonardo da Vinci and Turner and writers Rabelais and Ronsard.
