Histoire de la province de Savoie #1

A handsome opening volume from Christian Maucler and Michel Amoudry, this first installment of Histoire de la Province de Savoie spans the sweeping arc from the region's origins to the Revolution. The cover sets the tone beautifully: against the bold red-and-white cross of the Savoyard flag, a gallery of historical figures — noblemen, clergy, and courtly women — are arranged before an alpine backdrop of mountains and castle towers, capturing centuries of Savoyard identity in a single image. Published in 2015 by Éditions du Signe, this is a welcoming entry point for anyone curious about the rich, layered history shared between Savoie and Haute-Savoie.
