The Roof of France
Publisher Description
How many English-speaking tourists have found their way to the Roof of France--in other words, the ancient Gévaudan, the romantic department of the Lozère? How many English--or for the matter of that French travellers either--have so much as heard of the Causses, those lofty tablelands of limestone, groups of a veritable archipelago, once an integral whole, now cleft asunder, forming the most picturesque gorges and magnificent defiles; offering contrasts of scenery as striking as they are sublime, and a phenomenon unique in geological history.
