The whole world can be found in France!
Who recalls that the Bataclan is a Chinese pagoda? That the Nice Orthodox Cathedral is the largest outside Russia? Or that in Normandy, the Château du Champ de Bataille houses an authentic Indian palace?

The story of this unusual cultural heritage is told through travelers whose dreams have come true and a passion for foreign cultures. It bears witness to migrations and the history of the world.
This book shows how diversity, variety, and cosmopolitanism still and always will enhance life in France.
