| Résumé : | From Gien to Angers, the Loire takes liberties with history. Unconcerned with the sequence of events or styles, she flows along as her fancy takes her, passing in turn defensive feudal fortresses and sculpture Renaissance palaces, impregnable moats and sumptuously laid out gardens, royal dwellings, manor houses and the gentilhommières of the local gentry.
In the backdrop for most of the major events which marked the reign of the Valois kings for over two centuries, a marvellous theatre for lavish festivities and murderous plots, a land where the art of living was cultivated to a higher degree than elsewhere. This is the "doulce France" cherished by Ronsard, Du Bellay, Rabelais and Balzac and now beautifully captured by the illustrations in this book. |
