Costume and Textile Tours of the Loire Valley

The Loire Valley is home to some unique embroidery styles, such as Broderie Richelieu and Jour d'Angle. I have a lifelong interest in textiles and costume and would be delighted to create a custom half day tour to visit sites that have good embroidery, tapestry or costume collections. We might even be able to visit a working artisan. Please contact me to ask what would be possible.
