He discovers what a village looked like in the time of Roman Gaul; he observes life in a fortified castle in the Middle Ages; he witnesses a scene of life at the court of King Louis XIV, the Sun King. He saw the main moments of the Revolution; he discovers life in a trench during the First World War; finally, he compares life in France in the time of his grandparents and today.

Reference pages

In the reference pages located at the end of the work, the child can complete his knowledge. He will find the geographical division into Regions and departments, a short chronology of the history of France. A gallery of famous people and finally a jumble of souvenirs, objects and delicacies emblematic of France.

A child-sized book

The simple and dynamic illustrations, in large scenes or in vignettes, invite the child to explore the image to identify new details and new information each time. On each double page, the question asked in the banner, linked to the main theme, challenges the child’s curiosity. Where does the French flag come from? What is the Isle of Beauty? Where do we speak Creole? Who was Vercingétorix?… The question, treated with humor and dynamism in three vignettes and three short paragraphs, makes the link with the child’s world. A real educational bonus! At the end of each chapter, a double page self-evaluation allows you to enhance the child’s analysis and learning.
