This time of year is the opportunity for many publications on the Loire Valley and world heritage.

“Martin de Tours, un saint européen”

The story of Saint-Martin, a man of faith before becoming a saint, is closely tied in with that of Tours and the Loire Valley. In this publication from the "Les Patrimoines" collection, we follow this tireless traveller and evangelist across Europe, but it is in Tours, and more specifically Marmoutier, that Martin finds his full spiritual dimension.

“Navigations intérieures”

After a long eclipse, French boating is making a comeback at the very heart of our societies. In all regions, rivers and canals are being showcased, restored and renovated. They are winning over economic, tourism and sports stakeholders and sometimes becoming popular areas to live too. Bernard Le Sueur offers a synthesis here to present the main facts about boating that has, in itself, shaped the history of France.
