Author with Local Ties Maribeth Clemente Presents “A Tour of the
Heart”
Travel Writer Pens Love Story/Cycling Adventure Set in France
Ever wonder what it would be like to cycle around France with
your own personal tour guide? “A Tour of the Heart: A Seductive Cycling Trip Through France”
takes you on a trip with travel writer Maribeth Clemente (author of “The Riches
of Paris” and “The Riches of France”) as she returns to France with her two new
loves, boyfriend Pete and her road bike, Bella. What ensues is part love story
with a touch of humor, part travelogue and part adventure, as Maribeth, a
novice cyclist and accomplished French culturist hits the road with Peter, a
super cyclist and French novitiate. The hilly and romantic French countryside
of Alsace, Burgundy,
Provence, Languedoc-Roussillon, the Southwest,
the Alps and the Loire
Valley will leave readers
as breathless as the two cyclists themselves, as they try to navigate the ups
and downs of their relationship and maintain the balance of power between them.
This is a must-read for anyone who has ever booked a trip, planned an adventure
or daydreamed about a relationship and learned that the only sure thing in life
is that there will be a beautiful surprise at every turn in the road.
Maribeth will be at Inside Edge
Ski Board and Bike Shop (www.insideedge.biz), 643 Upper Glen Street
in Queensbury Thursday, July 30, from 4
to 6pm for a meet and greet/book signing. Travel enthusiasts are encouraged
to stop in to chat about France, the Tour de France and the adventures of
traveling à deux.
