When new ways drive to old lanes




A local publisher "Le Polygraphe" is, at the same time, at the front page of old travel journals and on the latest fashion of technology, the i-pad, with the same theme : the poetry of ride along the Loire valley. Since the beginning of june,the devoted admirers of touchpad share the same emotion with the lovers of old spiral-bound notebooks where travellers of by-gone days recorded their souvenirs.

The Apple store of the world company puts forward the "Carnet de Loire between Tours and Candes-Saint-Martin" after Le Polygraph published it fifteen years ago. But in both cases, paper or screen, the charm works : the reader becomes walker whose imagination drifts away along the majestic curves of the royal river.

The watercolors (Pascal Proust) and the story (Pierre Laurendeau, in addition manager of Le Polygraph) stage the famous and the humble patrimony of that province formerly called "The garden of France". If the application program uses some of the technical headways of Apple, nevertheless, these one don't invade the course of the imaginary promenade. The authenticity is intact.
