What is the Cuisine of the Loire Valley?

If you are talking about French regional cuisine, it's not enough to talk about Escoffier and sauces. You need to talk about terroir, the notion that food is a product of a matrix of influences including soil, weather, seasons, generations of farming practices and knowledge, genetics, kitchen preparation and cooking. There might be a lot less butter involved than you were expecting...so book a tour with us and find out!
