Secret French Riviera (Secret)by Jean-pierre Cassely
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A game of pétanque played with square boules, an astonishing aerial well, stained-plastic windows, a marble bench built in memory of the Queen of Englands haemophiliac son, the instruments of the Passion of Christ, a cannon that fires cherry stones, a good-luck pig, a mysterious pyramid, a monument to secret agents, an entire village that "moved house", a gas mask for horses, a statue sculpted by Saint Luke, a chapel showing the dead rising from their tombs, a trapdoor in the nave of a church that opens onto a rushing torrent, a restaurant in an Orient Express railway car, Babars beach, Tintins Black Island, and Sleeping Beautys château, a chance to admire the Rivieras first pair of naked breasts, or spend the night sleeping in a tree…
