  • A Little Tour in France
    A LITTLE TOUR IN FRANCE with ninety-four illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL LONDON WILLIAM HEINEMANN 1900 Preface Preface The notes presented in this volume were gathered, as will easily be perceived, a number of years ago and on an expectation not at that time answered by the event, and were then published in the United States. The expectation had been that they should accompany a series of drawings, and they themselves were altogether governed by the pictorial spirit. They made, and they make in appearing now, after a considerable interval and for the first time, in England, no pretension to any other; they are impressions, immediate, easy, and consciously limited; if the written word may ever play the part of brush or pencil, they are sketches on "drawing-paper" and nothing more. From the moment the principle of selection and expression, with a tourist, is not the delight of the eyes and the play of fancy, it should be an energy in every way much larger; there is no happy mean, in other words, I hold, between the sense and the quest of the picture, and the surrender to it, and the sense and the quest of the constitution, the inner springs of the subject—springs and connections social, economic, historic. One must really choose, in other words, between the benefits of the perception of surface—a perception, when fine, perhaps none of the most frequent—and those of the perception of very complex underlying matters. If these latter had had, for me, to be taken into account, my pages would not have been collected.

Elle avait épousé Claude Dupin qui devint fermier général. Celui-ci acquit l’hôtel Lambert dans l’île Saint-Louis, pour 140 000 livres ; c’était un bijou où sa femme tint un salon rival de celui de madame du Deffand. (Fig.1). Elle y recevait tous les écrivains des Lumières, et Voltaire disait d’elle qu’elle était la déesse de la beauté et de la musique. Elle engagea Jean-Jacques Rousseau comme précepteur pour son fils, puis comme secrétaire.

  • THE DELIGHTS in FRANCE for the TOURISTS Denisa Wolfe ID 499 Dr. James Hightower
    THE DELIGHTS IN FRANCE FOR THE TOURISTS by Denisa Wolfe ID 499 Dr. James Hightower TABLE OF CONTENTS Loire Valley 1 - 27 Normandy 28 - 36 Brittany 37 - 44 Pyrenees 45 - 53 Perigord 54 - 63 Provence 64 - 74 - - LOIRE VALLEY The Loire River is the longest river in France, flowing for approximately six hundred miles. This river, with the Cher River and the Indre River, forms the Loire Valley. This is the area of France for dreaming along the banks of the rivers. Dreams of those of the past have dotted the Loire Valley with magnificent chateaux. This is truly the chateaux country of France. This region of France was very popular with the royalty, and many of their royal residences are still there. Many of these chateaux are not only beautiful, but also possess intriguing stories of love, jealousy, and murder. Amboise The Chateau d'Amboise is in Italian Renaissance style. One of the main attractions of this chateau is the Tour des Minimes which is the five-storey spiral ramp used for bringing horses and carriages up to the chateau from the river below. In 1470, Charles VIII was born here and began to rebuild it in 1492. In 1498, Charles VIII died from striking his forehead on a low-hanging doorway in the chateau. In 1560, the chateau was the site of a gruesome scene. There was the massacre of the Protestants for the conspiracy of La Renaudie. They were hung from the iron balconies of the chateau. A fanciful visitor today can 2 perhaps picture traces of blood on the crossed iron bars of the balcony where heads were hung.

  • TBK - Touraine Chenonceaux AOP Touraine, Vallée De La Loire Et Centre, France
    TBK - Touraine Chenonceaux AOP Touraine, Vallée de la Loire et Centre, France Let's now head for one of the most beautiful châteaux in the Loire Valley: Chenonceau. The TBK cuvée pays tribute to Thomas Bohier and his wife Katerine, founders of this architectural nugget spanning the Cher, by using their monogram which adorns some of the castle's ceilings. The winemaker Jérôme Marquet offers us a refined gastronomic wine with a strong structure. LOCATION The vines are located on the right bank of the Cher on a south-facing slope. The microclimate of the plot is characterised by a very good light, regular ventilation and low rainfall. TERROIR The terroir is composed of flinty clay of the perruche type, which allows the Sauvignon grape variety to ripen very well. Controlled pruning and yields naturally limited to 55 hl/ha naturally contribute to the identity of this superb cuvée, characterised by its ripe fruit aromas and its strong structure. VINIFICATION Monitoring of ripeness by regular tasting of the berries. Harvesting with ripe to candied fruit profiles. Gentle pressing and light settling to preserve the aromatic potential. Cold stabilisation (5 days). Traditional vinification with temperature control (17 to 19°C). AGEING Aged on fine lees with regular batonnage (6 to 8 months minimum), bottled in June. VARIETALS Sauvignon blanc 100% SERVING Serve chilled (10°C). TASTING NOTES Straw yellow colour. The nose seduces with its scent of candied citrus fruit, juicy pear, ripe apricot and blackcurrant buds. The palate is full, fleshy and superbly balanced by its acidic structure. The finish is persistent with fresh menthol notes.
