Lasagne is both a form of pasta in sheets and also a dish, sometimes named "lasagne al forno" (oven-cooked lasagne) made with alternate layers of pasta, cheese and often tomato sauce or meat sauce. While it is traditionally believed to have originated in Italy, evidence has come to light suggesting that a very similar meal known as "loseyns" was eaten in the court of King Richard II of England in the 14th century.

Loire Loire Valley |

Loire Valley (French): Vallée de la Loire) is known as the Garden of France and the Cradle of the French Language. It is also noteworthy for the quality of its architectural heritage, in its historic towns such as Amboise, Angers, Blois, Chinon, Orléans, Saumur, and Tours, but in particular for its world-famous castles, such as the Châteaux d'Amboise, Château de Villandry and Chenonceau. The landscape of the Loire Valley, and more particularly its many cultural monuments, illustrate to an exceptional degree the ideals of the Renaissance and the Age of the Enlightenment on western European thought and design.
