1996
Journées du Livre et du Vin
It was therefore logical for Patrice Monmousseau and his friends and colleagues Jean-Maurice Belayche, Jean-Yves Clément and Arnaud Hofmarcher to create 'Les Journées du Livre et du Vin' (Wine and Literature Festival). Dedicated to the French actor Jean Carmet who was born in the Region and who initiated the original idea, this Festival unites prominent authors, Loire wines Gold Medal winners and personalities from all areas representing French "lifestyle".
