The final cherry on top of the lovely Loire cake - an opposing Apse. The Apse, which attaches to the porch - or the Over-roof if you want to create a rounded tent with an odd shaped entrance - gives the Loire a beautiful symmetrical shape and allows you to shut the entire tent up to stop people have a good look at what you've stored in the porch. With this addition the Loire is, without a doubt, the prettiest ridge tent available today. Yes, with all the additions, it is quite pricey, but it is a wonderful tent that will last for twenty years or more, still look fantastic and give you a huge amount of joy whenever you use it.
