Blois - De la préhistoire à nos jours #[nn]

Spanning the full sweep of a city's past, this handsome volume from Éditions Petit à Petit explores Blois from prehistory to the present day. The cover sets the tone beautifully, presenting three figures across different eras — a Renaissance nobleman in an elaborate ruff collar dominating the center, flanked by a helmeted soldier and a distinguished older gentleman — while a dramatic scene of armed conflict and fire unfolds across a bridge in the foreground. It's a richly layered introduction to a French historical graphic narrative that wears its ambition and regional pride with quiet confidence.
