A book that follows the footsteps of the Belle Époque seaside holiday boom. But a century later, rediscovering sea bathing close to home becomes newly relevant, in a time of crisis for long-haul exotic travel.
Richly illustrated with vintage engravings, this guide offers a Tour de France—then and now. Short, easy-to-browse chapters are organized along the major Paris rail lines (Nord, Orléans, Midi, Lyon) and brought to life by Françoise Gall’s witty pen.
Françoise Gall is an avid traveler, translator and correspondent for Le Petit Journal. She has worked with Zeraq on the French editions of several books: Cap à l'Est, Procida, La musique de la mer, Histoire de la navigation en 100 objets, De Pearl Harbor à la naissance des droits civiques, Un océan de plastique. Her translation of Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum has often been praised by critics.
