Written for the first generation of touring motorists, this road book runs section by section from Havre and Rouen through Chartres and Orléans to the châteaux of Touraine, then south by Poitiers and Angoulême to Biarritz, the Pyrenees, the Riviera and the Rhône valley. Mileages sit beside lively notes on history, churches and battles along the way.
A charming period piece for armchair travellers and anyone curious about France in the early days of the automobile. Download the free EPUB.
