In this text, writer and journalist Brigitte Tilleray and photographer Richard Turpin take the reader on a tour of the spectacular hidden France. Brigitte's lively and evocative text and Richard's photography attempt to capture the very essence of French village life: quaint corners of fortified hamlets; enticing vistas from fairytale village perches; and colourful scenes as villagers meet to exchange goods and gossip in the weekly market.
