Le long des Chร
: teaux de la Loire, FFRP topoguide Ref. No. 333, covering 552km route along the Loire from Bonny-sur-Loire across Orlรฉans, Blois and Tours to Angers. Current edition of this title was published in May 2018.The Loire is world famous for its castles and gardens, now classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. The site of the Loire Valley, cradle of the Renaissance, has an exceptional density of historical monuments of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.From the time of King Renรฉ d`Anjou, old houses were renovated or new buildings were added with large windows, balconies and elaborate staircases. They are surrounded by pleasure gardens that give not only flowers but also fruits and vegetables to accompany the product of the hunt.Later, the presence of the Court will favor the construction of many residential castles. Next to these internationally renowned sites, the Loire Valley has a varied tourist heritage: wild landscapes of the river, fauna and flora parks and reserves, vast forests, troglodyte habitat, heritage of viticulture and the Loire marine life.ABOUT THE FFRP (Fรฉdรฉration franรงaise de la randonnรฉe pรฉdestre) TOPOGUIDES: published in a handy A5 paperback format, the guides are the best companions for hiking along the GR routes, France’™s extensive network of long-distance footpaths. Each topo-guide covers either a whole route or a part of a longer path (e.g. four titles for the GR 10 along the Pyrenees). The guides have COLOUR extracts from IGN`s 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 topographic survey mapping overprinted with the route, with important points cross-referenced to the accompanying text placed on the adjoining page. The text is in French, but a large amount of information is conveyed by symbols (different types of accommodation, food shops, public transport links, etc). An important feature of each guide is a summary table showing what facilities can be found at each stage of the route, supported by an extensive ‘œinfo practiques” section with more specific information and contact details for recommended accommodation, tourist offices, etc. The guides are published on high quality paper and include descriptions of the most interesting aspects of the surrounding region: historical and cultural sites, local specialties, fauna and flora, etc, all illustrated with colour photos.To see other titles published by the FFRP for long-distance hiking routes please click on the series link.
