Synopsis

The Loire Valley is the result of George’s year-long stay in a beautiful area variously known as The Valley of the Kings and The Garden of France. There are more than three hundred grand chateaux in the Valley, but they are not the focus of the author’s attention. Rather, he visits the last home and work place of Leonardo da Vinci, walks the battlements of Richard the Lionheart’s favourite castle, goes underground in search of modern troglodytes and discovers how and why frog’s legs first became a delicacy in this part of France.

Author's Biography

George is the author of nine informative, affectionate and very witty books about France, the French and their sometimes funny little ways. His specialty is to take the reader on a journey of discovery, looking at the culture and cuisine of a region, and how its history, landscape and location has contributed to its difference from the rest of the country.
