Part travel book and part story collection, Allen’s tour of southern Burgundy mixes descriptions of its towns and château country, Autun and La Rochepot among them, with local history and legends, many drawn from François Fertiault’s books on rural Burgundy. Tales of the old dukes and their lords, some of them grim, sit alongside sketches of the countryside.
A leisurely early twentieth-century companion for travellers to Burgundy and readers who enjoy history told through place. Download the free EPUB.
