"Memoranda on Tours and Touraine" by J. H. Holdsworth is a travel guide that was likely written in the early 19th century. The text serves to provide information regarding Tours and the surrounding region of Touraine in central France, focusing particularly on its climate, geology, botany, and wines. Primarily aimed at British tourists and invalids seeking health restoration, the book blends practical advice with descriptive narrative. The opening of this guide introduces readers to the scenic beauty of the Touraine area, highlighting its gentle landscapes filled with vineyards, picturesque villages, and characteristically attractive elements like the Loire River and its surroundings. Holdsworth emphasizes the region's mild climate, arguing its benefits for individuals recovering from illness and seeking restorative travel experiences. He also outlines the range of topics the book will cover, such as routes to Tours, the local flora and fauna, and various social and recreational activities available to tourists, establishing a comprehensive look at the allure of Tours and Touraine for visitors.
