Whether you thought you knew everything about the Mont-Blanc massif, whether you wanted to discover it through hiking, or whether, as an unconditional enthusiast, you simply wanted to go back for another visit, this book allows you to explore its trails in a genuinely original way.
Through original drawings, reproductions of ancient engravings and photographs, you will walk with wide-open eyes through one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. At once a logbook, an illustrated notebook, a historical collection and a photographic album, this truly beautiful book opens its doors to all forms of sensibility.
You will also find plenty to satisfy your thirst for knowledge about the mountains, thanks to a fascinating illustrated encyclopedia. For a long time, the mountains have never been so much at once a source of discovery, amusement and wonder, and a source of joy for both young and old.
One must take the time to read the anecdotes, to immerse oneself in tales of days gone by, to dream, to let oneself be guided by the author's brush and pen. Follow, nose to the wind, the wonderful scents of tomme cheese, raspberry jam and chanterelles.
They will lead you towards beautiful mountain pastures or mysterious undergrowth. Your senses will awaken one by one and, without a doubt, you will hear the furtive rustling or the sharp crack that will remind you that you are not the inhabitants of these places, but simply guests.
