  Sample family favorites and regional delights such as Flemish Potjevlesh, Algerian-influenced chicken tagine, moules (mussels) in cider and cream, salt-encrusted Lamb Grevin, Far Brêton, and Pâté de Pomme de Terre. Enjoy the music and antics of local festivals like La Bande de Pecheur (Gang of Fisherman), Feast of St. John, and the Blessing of the Fleet. Discover the wonder of troglodyte caves, wineries, and truffle farms in the Loire Valley.

And, all along the route, witness the impact WWI and WWII on the families profiled. Even seventy-five years later, the legacy of war remains―and yet, incredibly, the gift that each generation has handed down has been gratitude and a deep understanding of the importance of family.

  Tarascan Empire - The Fierce...

  The Tarascan Empire flourished in the rugged and resource-rich region of western Mexico, primarily in what is now the state of Michoacán. Unlike the arid landscapes of central Mexico dominated by the Aztecs, the Tarascan homeland was defined by volcanic highlands, fertile valleys, and vast lakes, particularly Lake Pátzcuaro, which played a central role in their civilization. The geography of this region not only shaped their way of life but also provided a natural defense against external threats, including the expansionist ambitions of the Aztecs. 
  The varied landscape of Michoacán consisted of towering mountains, deep forests, and fertile plateaus. This diverse terrain allowed the Tarascans to develop a robust agricultural system, cultivating maize, beans, squash, and chili peppers, which formed the foundation of their diet. The presence of rivers and lakes further supported fishing and provided fresh water, making settlements around these water bodies highly strategic. Lake Pátzcuaro, in particular, was not only an economic and social hub but also held deep religious significance. It was believed to be the gateway to the underworld in Tarascan mythology, reinforcing its central role in spiritual life. 
  Natural resources played a crucial role in the rise of the Tarascan Empire. The region was rich in minerals, especially copper and obsidian, which were vital for both tools and weaponry. Unlike the Aztecs, whose military strength relied on wooden clubs and stone blades, the Tarascans developed advanced metalworking techniques, producing copper axes, bronze weapons, and intricate ornaments. This technological advantage gave them a distinct edge in warfare and trade, allowing them to maintain independence from their more dominant neighbors.
