This book preserves the trace of an author's commission from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries on rural life in the Mayenne. These everyday images reflect a land where women and men live and work without ostentation or pretension, but with pride and generosity; through their "Journey in Mayenne", Nick and Marie Ellen Brokensha introduce us to engaging individuals, caught in their daily lives, reflections of rural life's diversity, made of balance and harmony, wisdom and labour.
