Are the Gauls barbarians? Are we the descendants of a vile and mired people at the bottom of their hut? The historian **Lorris Chevalier** methodically leads a crusade against these pernicious stereotypes and paints a picture of the Gallic heritage. Contrary to legend, the Gauls form an ingenious, curious, traveler people whose mores have been transmitted to our time without our knowing it. This book serves as a manual for anyone wondering about the ancestors of the French.
