Myth: a fabulous story handed down by tradition. As a nod to Roland Barthes's famous essay — the DS is of course here — Gilles Leimdorfer sets out on a journey across France to rediscover the essence of a French history, culture and legend. The images bring together Verdun and Bruay-en-Artois, Camembert and Varennes, Joan of Arc and Johnny, the liner France and Camping #1, #2 and #3, and cross the quest for one's own origins.
