By the Wayside… there are events and places worth a stopover.
This book offers an introduction to one of the grandest events of the summer in Aquitaine, and provides an insight into the historical context which the event presents and brings to life in its own unique way: the final battle in the Hundred Years‘ War, by the Dordogne river.
It is the end of a war and the end of an era.
