Having read the rave reviews I ordered this book, but I finally was surprised and disappointed by some editorial choices. First, there is no chapter on France as a country, bringing together elements common to all regions and all French (language, currency, flag ..). We start immediately on the Normandy (?), And the following chapters detail various regions of France. I would have found it more logical to start with Paris and the Paris region. I'm not Paris at all, but it still seems appropriate to start with the capital, the largest city. This chapter is the penultimate! It also lacks a map of France "global", bringing together the main cities, mountains and rivers.
Apart from that there are interesting things and beautiful illustrations, but I still find this disappointing book.
