Un peu de la France, is the next installment of living arts à la Sempé, evincing a profound understanding of old-time France, the one we used to know and which is in the process of disappearing: a reassuring France with its little villages where the hens peck in pathways, its bicyclists passing, its country villas and trees both protecting and dominating man. more
