The number of travelers France welcomes each year is as great as
its population-some sixty million. They arrive to experience not
only the latest fashions in clothing, art, and cuisine, but also
the vestiges of a past that encompasses a half million years. Among
these vestiges are Neolithic cave paintings, Roman villas and
temples, medieval cathedrals, and royal chateaux. This concise
volume outlines French history from prehistoric times to the
twenty-first century. The diverse themes discussed include the
relations of France with its neighbors, the ever-present tension
between national unity and regional autonomy, the role of the
Catholic Church, and developments in public works and education. In
order to lend this vast panorama a more human face, the author
gives special attention to the life of at least one individual in
each major era.
