Gardian Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 A friend has just teased me in an email, saying that he's doing a translation and he bets that I don't know the area that this refers to.I don't (but I'm not letting on).Anybody know? - looked in all my obvious books, but nothing.

BJSLIV Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 The meaning is a bit wider than just La Touraine, its really applies to the Val de Loire deriving from the river's latin name, the Liger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 That's interesting. I have always seen "Ligérien" used relating to "Loire-Atlantique". But perhaps it depends where you are looking from (in my case, the Vendée).Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
