In this 1994 book, Xavier de Planhol and Paul Claval, two of
France's leading scholars in the field, trace the historical
geography of their country from its roots in the Roman province of
Gaul to the 1990s. They demonstrate how, for centuries, France was
little more than an ideological concept, despite its natural
physical boundaries and long territorial history. They examine the
relatively late development of a more complex territorial
geography, involving political, religious, cultural, agricultural
and industrial unities and diversities. The conclusion reached is
that only in the twentieth century had France achieved a profound
territorial unity and only now are the fragmentations of the past
being overwritten.
