Description: Early comprehensive 40 page booklet titled, “LES BEAUX CHATEAUX DE LA LOIRE” This booklet in English, offers a brief description of 12 of the most famous Loire Valley Castles. It is interspaced with a number of interesting early advertisements from flower stores to interior design companies. Masterpieces of the Renaissance, full of magic and history, the Loire Valley Castles are treasure houses where art and history are mixed with the gentle way of life in a province known as the Garden of France. Each of the Loire Valley Castles demonstrates technical and architectural know-how as well as an aesthetic sensibility. For example the Chambord castle with its 426 rooms and 282 fireplaces, Chenonceau which sits astride the river Cher, Amboise Castle and Clos Lucé which was the last home of Leonardo da Vinci as well as the Villandry Castle, Tours, Cheverny and Angers. All of them sit in beautiful landscapes, surrounded by gardens beyond compare. The designation Loire Valley Castles comes from their exceptional geographical proximity. The Loire Valley was the residence of French loyalty in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Because of its huge concentration of monuments, the Loire Valley is the largest UNESCO World Heritage site in France. Brochure measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 including black & white screened photographs of the castles and advertisements. The front and back covers are green duotones.
