Synopsis

In 1581, Montaigne, a philosopher, left Lyon for Bordeaux, crossing the heart of the Massif Central. His itinerary reveals a 16th-century France where roads were few, landscapes were powerful, and ideas were in flux.

From the mountains of Forez to the valleys of the Creuse, this episode invites us to follow in the footsteps of a man who made traveling a way of learning to live.
