Product Description

Journey to France -- a country where life itself is an art form, and food, history and tradition are taken seriously. Discovery Atlas: France Revealed explores the history, culture and geography of this spectacular region, with its unique citizens serving as guides. Meet an explosives expert, a radical chef, a man who scales skyscrapers without ropes and a bullfighter, as they share their country, their lives and what it means to be French. It starts with plans to blow up the Eiffel Tower -- with fireworks -- for Bastille Day and journeys up the Alps to avalanche territory, across to still dangerous battlefields, into territorial farmlands and through gorgeous architectural treasures.
