Ambiance

"The abundance of colours and smells exalted me. Everywhere, in the green water of the fisheries, in the swell of the prairies, under the curving ferns, in the hollow of the coppices, there were hidden treasures that I was burning to discover." (Simone de Beauvoir - Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter) This itinerary refers to the childhood memories of Simone de Beauvoir, philosopher and writer (1908-1986), who spent part of her holidays in the family home, just outside Uzerche.
