Description
|
|
|
|
One of the Europe's most celebrated rivers, the Seine stretches from the fertile plains of Burgundy to the English Channel at Le Havre. In this 1953 account writer and Irish engraver and river traveler Robert Gibbings follows the Seine's 400-mile course from a tranquil stream at its source near Dijon as it develops into the mighty waterway that links Rouen to the sea. Throughout a leisurely summer voyage—on foot, in a tiny boat "hardly more than a coracle," on a barge, and on a boat used for transporting books—Gibbings records his impressions in words and pictures and recounts the river's vital role in French history.
