The new 2012 websites not to be missed

The Valley of the Kings

This association seeks above all to group together the tourist range of heritage ensembles that are listed, named a Historical Monument or awarded the "Remarkable Gardens" label, open to the public and located in the Centre and Pays de Loire Regions, in the cultural unit known as the Loire Valley. 66 sites currently belong to the association. 

Its new website was put online this summer to promote the various sites with history, the services available and visuals.  An English version of the website will be put online by the end of the year.

Editions La Salicaire, which specialises in publishing river histories, particularly of the Loire, can now be found online.
