The Romanesque churches to be found in every corner of France are among the wonders of Europe. Built between 1000 and 1200, their architectural styles vary from region to region, as do their sizes. This period also saw a revival of sculpture, and many of the churches, such as Moissac and Chauvigny, are home to outstanding examples of the art. Romanesque Churches of France, which highlights 100 churches in 10 geographical sections of France—from Normandy and Burgundy in the north to Provence, Roussilon, and Languedoc in the south—will inspire the traveler to explore these beautiful regions as well as those less known, such as Auverne and the Pyrenees. This lavish companion will also be welcomed by anyone with a general interest in the history of France’s architecture and sculpture. Peter Strafford, a distinguished journalist, wrote for the Times of London for over three decades.
