About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
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.
The main focus of this book is an outline of the historical events and background which set the seal on the end of this era. In addition, the author provides an introduction to the performance in Castillon-la-Bataille for anyone on holiday in the South-West of France or on the Atlantic coast.
Includes suggestions for other places to visit in the area.
Contents include:
