Chateaux Médiévaux des Hautes-Alpes - Gerald Lucas

Châteaux Médiévaux des Hautes-Alpes - Medieval Castles of Hautes-Alpes

Authors : Marie-Pierre ESTIENNE and Nathalie NICOLAS - Photographs by Gérald LUCAS

This book is a militant act, full of passion for our Alps department. Born from the meeting of archaeologists Marie-Pierre Estienne and Nathalie Nicolas, and Gérald Lucas (the most famous photographers of Hautes-Alpes), it force the (re)discovery of unknown or known sites, wild cases full of the spirit of the Middle Ages, avish sets for a rare and precious medieval heritage.

Erudition book, art book, field book, this work, which will enthrall the medievalist as much as cultural hiker, is an invitation to respect and memory.

(...) deux archéologues nous restituent ici un large pan du passé du département..."
