Gorgeously illustrated as well as informative, 101 Beautiful Small Towns in France is a tour through the pleasures of the French countryside, a place where the pace slows, locals engage strangers in conversation, and every town presents a unique set of curiosities waiting to be discovered. Wander the serpentine alleyways of the rockbound coastal fishing villages in Brittany and Normandy; explore medieval masterpieces in Alsace and order a flammekueche, this regionˇ¦s thin-crusted pizza; spend a day in the Ile de France, the green surround of Paris, and visit the magnificent Chateau de Versailles, or the palace at Fontaineblean, a treasure trove of mannerist delights; take in the jasmine-and mimosa-scented air of the Cote dˇ¦Azur, home to some of Europeˇ¦s most glamorous beaches; and donˇ¦t forget to fall into a field of lavender in Provence, enjoy a refreshing glass of pastis, and travel the Vineyard Route for a glass of rose, this regionˇ¦s most popular wine.
