Biographical index to Maxted Travel blogs

This is one of a series of indexes to our travels, last updated 17 February 2017.

1. Places. The only complete index.

2. People. Some of the historical personages we have encountered on our travels.

3. Subjects. A miscellany of oddities and other interesting discoveries.

4. Names. A key to proper names other than places and people.

The links take you to the start of each posting. To find the place within longer postings it may be necessary to use the browser's "find" function (Ctrl+F). Where an account of a place extends over more than one posting, there are multiple index references. For some places with repeated visits (e.g. Caen) many references may be to visits to friends rather than description of the locality.
