Alain Decaux raconte l'histoire de france aux enfants
L'histoire de France pour les enfants racontée par cet incomparable conteur qu'est Alain Decaux. L'histoire que je vous propose ne ressemble à aucune autre, parce qu'elle est celle de cette France où vous êtes nés, que vous habitez et où probablement vous passerez votre vie. De cette France qui a grandi, pendant des centaines d'années, au travers d'aventures si extraordinaires qu'elles laissent bien en arrière celles que l'on imagine pour vous à la télévision. Ce livre ne prétend remplacer ni l'enseignement de vos professeurs, ni les manuels que l'on met à votre disposition. Il veut avant tout vous faire rêver sur les hommes et les femmes qui ont construit la France. Il est composé d'histoires qui, ajoutées les unes aux autres, font l'Histoire...
