100 monuments, 100 writers / Stories of France, Patrimoine editions, CMN

Presentation

In this unique work, each monument is subject to a dual approach, the one literary – a “carte blanche” given to a hundred writers – the other historical and entrusted to the staff who manage the sites.

From the Font-de-Gaume Cave to the Villa Savoye, the Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey to the Fort de Salses, the Carnac Stones to the Tropaeum Alpium in La Turbie, the Sainte-Chapelle to the Château de Bussy-Rabutin, or the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau to Cluny Abbey, the hundred or so monuments and sites that are conserved, restored, maintained, opened to the public and generally brought to life by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux offer, through their great diversity of periods, styles and the original purposes they served, a heterogeneous approach to the history of our country as well as an enjoyable and appealing tour of its geography.
