Ellen Barone | Wednesday, June 20, 2007 at 9:42AM Taking a dip in the swimming pool of a French count, spending the night in a 15th century chateau, a long Dégustation lunch with the finest wines of this renowned area – when the Wayfarers commits to crafting a new walking experience, it abounds with well-researched details that allow travelers to connect most meaningfully with their destination. This summer, a trio of new walks through Burgundy & The Loire captures the very essence of this fairytale region in France.
