French Impressions The Dordogne River from source to sea - Volume 4
Author: George East

French Impressions: The Dordogne River is a travel book looking at the varying culture, cuisine and communities found along the 300 miles of riverbank of one of France's most iconic waterways. The book contains historical references and modern-day information and observations about the five regions and six departments en route from the source to... more » outlet in the Gironde estuary. The book also contains dozens of traditional recipes. One of France?s most iconic rivers, the Dordogne emerges as a trickle from the slopes of a dead volcano in the Auvergne. Then it makes its meandering way westwards to where it empties into the sea to the north of Bordeaux. On its long journey through the heart of France, the Dordogne constantly changes direction, size, shape and mood as it traverses six departments and five regions. It also passes through an ever-changing landscape of surprisingly diverse climates, cuisine and even language. This feast of history, food, drink and culture offered more than enough of an excuse for travel writer and humorist George East and his wife Donella to follow the Dordogne from start to finish. They managed to spin out nearly a year of exploring the river, the towns along its banks - and the food and drink of each area. Look inside and you will find some truly remarkable recipes. For sure, you will find this is not at all like your average travel book. You will find it crammed cover to cover with fascinating historical facts, reviews and recipes. Above all, you?ll find it filled with George?s sometimes quirky but always affectionate and certainly unique observations on a much-loved area of a great country. George?s latest book is the third in his French Impressions series, and joins he and his wife Donella as they follow the course of the Dordogne river from its source on the side of a hopefully dead volcano in the Auvergne to where it empties into the sea above Bordeaux. On the nearly 500 kilometre/300mile journey through the heart of France, the Dordogne constantly changes direction, size, shape and mood as it traverses six departments and five regions. In so doing, it also passes through an ever-changing landscape of surprisingly diverse climates, cuisine and even language. In all, this feast of history, food, drink and culture offered more than enough of an excuse for travel writer, humorist and plain man?s bon vivant George and his wife to spin out nearly a year exploring the river, the towns along its banks - and the food and drink of each area.
