Loire Millésime - 19th-22nd April 2017 – chasing after Rabelais.
Statue of François Rabelais beside the Vienne
Yesterday we followed in the footsteps of François Rabelais, author, man of many talents and the renowned promoter of the wines of Chinon. This included a visit to the Rabelais Museum at La Devinière in Seuilly.
