The Spell of the Heart of France: The Towns, Villages and Chateaus about Paris
註釋Discover the beauty of France through the eyes of André Hallays in this captivating book. With a talent for visualizing landscapes and infusing life into images of the past, Hallays takes readers on a journey beyond the beaten track of tourist traffic to explore the obscure and little-known architectural gems and portraits of French worthies. His seemingly casual touches of color brilliantly illuminate the monotonous and colorless landscapes, creating an unforgettable impression of architectural beauty. From the red-tiled roofs of Alsace to the outer suburbs of Paris, Hallays' essays give us a unique perspective on French architectural styles at their best. Written over a series of years, his descriptions of the valley of the Oise and Soissons tell of the beauty of the regions before the devastation of war.
