A river with mystic and romantic stories that is Nile. “Death in the Nile” was published on Nov 1937 and “Daughter of the Nile” was published on July 1976 are famous books. I read “Daughter of the Nile” when I was kid and like this book. It provides many thoughts and I imagined it has love, beauty and life that happened among this river, and the romantic love story of the daughter of Nile.

France is a beautiful country with art and sense of romanticism. The Eiffel Tower and The Louvre are part of its cultural heritage. The Mona Lisa has her room in Louvre. The longest river in France is Loire River (630 miles) and the last wild river in all of Europe flowing westward from the south of Cevennes into Orleans and the city of tours, and spilling into the Atlantic Ocean at Nantes. On the 2nd December 2000, the Loire River was recognized as a World Heritage site. The UNESCO committee said that the Loire is “an exceptional cultural landscape, of great beauty, comprised of historic cities and villages, great architectural monuments – the Châteaux – and lands that have been cultivated and shaped by centuries of interaction between local populations and their physical environment, in particular the Loire itself.”
