Volume 2 takes you to the heart of rural life—shaped by the rhythms of the pastures—in France’s mountain ranges (the Alps, Pyrenees, and Massif Central): the architecture of stone and timber farmhouses, the seasonal pace of pastoral life, livestock farming, and the production of mountain cheeses and cured meats.
Richly illustrated with photographs and on-site features, these books celebrate rural traditions, local heritage, and the craftsmanship of yesteryear. Each volume concludes with a practical guide listing places to visit—such as local museums, farms, and open-air heritage museums—along with recipes.
