Big Yellow Headlights

Both of our cars have the traditional (for France) yellow headlights. But why yellow??

In 1936 the French government were becoming increasingly concerned about Germany - in March 1936 German forces reoccupied the Rhineland in contravention of the Treaty of Versailles in which it was agreed that the Rhineland would remain a de-militarised zone.

In response a slew of new laws were introduced, one of which was concerned car headlights. In future they were to be yellow so that even if they couldn't do anything about German incursions into France, at least they could tell (by headlight colour) when they were happening. This law lasted until 1992, when an amendment allowed headlights to be either yellow or white.

Away from the Chateaux

The chateaux of the Loire Valley are the reason most people visit, but they are not the only old and interesting things to be seen. There are many lesser known historic sites to see and we are always delighted to add one or two into a customised itinerary. Some of these places are spectacular, some are mysterious, several are rare or unique examples of their genre, all are places you probably would not find on your own.
