Another story

Fort also unexpected success that earned her Metronome, Lorant Deutsch is today launching the challenge to make us share his passion for history by pushing it beyond the gates of the capital. As with his previous work, he needs an excuse to tell each episode of this story.

If he had used the capital's subway stations to tell the story of the latter, that's all it takes logically based on the channels of communication that are the roads to narrate the story of the whole country . Lorant Deutsch invites us to walk to both delightful, erudite and fascinating "on the roads of the history of France." As he had done so well with the Paris metro, gait Deutsch remains unchanged: to find what lies behind the names of cities, villages, localities and rivers ...

Far from the official story as we all learned in school, these byways borrows the author allows to cross forgotten figures of history or little known or ignored by official historians events. It is a delight to read it in the writings of both erudite and "pagan" of the actor.

Some purists may find fault with certain choices or explanations, but, frankly, for a time a French artist mentions in broad daylight, love of his country and its culture, why sulk our pleasure?
