Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Along France´s River of Romance; The Loire: The Chateau Country Its Personality, Its Architecture, Its People and Its Associations The River Loire rises, 4500 feet above the sea, on the slope of Gerbier de Jones, the highest peak, but one, of the Cevennes. After a course of eighteen miles, it enters, as a wild mountain torrent, the department of Haute Loire. At Vorey, below the confluence of the Arzon, it becomes (officially) navigable for rafts. It is classified as navigable for vessels at La Noirie in the gorges of St. Victor, four miles after its entry into the next department, that of Loire. After crossing the unhealthy swamps of the Plaine du Forez it enters fresh gorges, its last struggle with the rocks, from which it emerges at Roanne. It now skirts the department of Saône-et-Loire, and enters that of Nièvre, where its course is diverted in a north-westerly direction by the mountains of the Morvan. Below Nevers it is joined by its first great tributary, the Allier, which is by some considered the main channel.
