Heritage Engineering in the Loire Valley

We are big fans of heritage engineering, and find that our clients are too. Consequently, if you take a tour with us and we pass something like an Eolienne Bollee, we will stop for you to see it, and we will tell you the history of these splendid wind turbines.
