| The focus of this
tour is the legacy of Romanesque art and architecture which
spreads down the Loire from Orléans and into Burgundy.
This area includes many of the most famous sites of the eleventh
and twelfth centuries in France but we will also aim to visit
some of the less well known monuments of the period. With a
bus at our disposal, we can be flexible in our timetable and
strike the right balance between the amount we see and the quality
of attention we wish to give to each of the sites we visit. |
| |
| A study tour book
with notes about our visits will be provided along with some
suggested reading at our preliminary meeting in spring. |
