The valley of THE Loire river, versus the valley of Loire (region), where LA Loire is the physical river and just Loire (without its article) stands for the concept of the region. Just a guess... but val du Loir confuses that. Unless people are just use the terms, depending on what sounds better or cooler.

Okay, now, back to Loir and Loi...I like the photo!<br /><br />Okay, now, back to Loir and Loire and Val and Vallée, if I may!:<br /><br />This is what I understand:<br />1. la Valée de la Loire = the valley along the fleuve known as the Loire<br /><br />2. le val de Loire = a larger area around the fleuve known as the Loire, but also encompassing areas around the smaller rivers, Cher, Indre, Somme, etc. (?)<br /><br />3. le Val du Loir= is this the same thing as la Vallée du Loir? And does this then mean the valley along the rivière known as le Loir? I see these two links:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.vallee-du-loir.com/bienvenue/" rel="nofollow">Vallée du Loir</a><br />and<br /><a href="http://www.vallee-du-loir.com/offices/la-chartre/" rel="nofollow">Office du tourisme du val du Loir</a><br /><br />and I'm never clear on why we use DU Loir but simply DE Loire after the term Val (Val de Loire, but Val du Loir)... why not Val de la Loire?<br /><br />Whew!<br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.com
