Rather than list sights, André Hallays takes the reader on unhurried visits to the small towns, villages and châteaux of the Île-de-France: Maintenon, La Ferté-Milon, Meaux and Germigny, Senlis, Juilly and more. At each he summons the people who lived there, from saints and bishops to kings, ministers and visionaries, and lets their stories colour the landscape.
