Présentation de l'éditeur
These wings are wings of motion, not of Cupid, yet there is much of romance and story in these pages, for who can travel the plaisant pays de France and not dip deeply into both? When I entered my red machine at Nice no route had been laid out, to me there is small pleasure in travel when that is done, so I told Jean to start and left the direction to him. Being French he naturally ttimed towards his own country, and knowing whither the superb highways and enchanting bjrways could lead one, I tacitly agreed, and we glided away by the level sea and on into the olive-crowned hill of Provence, to where A ix the home of politeness dreams the years away and the air seems still to echo to King Ren6s music. A ries, Narbonne, fantastic Carcassonne, Lourdes, and Pau followed in rapid succession, and then we rested awhile at Biarritz with short jotimeys into Spain. Turning northward we rolled off into Central France, pausing daily in some ancient city or quaint village, climbing mountains to long forgotten castles, or rolling into valleys in search of deserted abbeys.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the narrative of an early 1900s automobile journey across the landscape of Southern France. The author, an American, along with his Japanese valet and a hired French driver and mechanic, experience this region's history and beauty through an unprecedented vantage point: the then-novel mode of automobile transport. Along the way, he engages with the local people and reflects on the medieval history and character of the towns and cities visited. Each city is given a chapter in the book, describing notable buildings, churches, architecture, and local color, and how these places came to be what they are today. Together, these chapters provide a mosaic picture of the whole, highlighting how these cities stand as physical manifestations of bygone eras, the residues of France's impressive past. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333348335_0
