Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Rather than learning France's history through its people, we explore its natural history. A two billion-year journey back in time to look at the country's geological heritage: a mountain chain becomes Brittany, lagoons where Paris now stands, ice from the Aiguille du Midi maps the routes of rivers flowing seawards.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
