Book 'Pernes-les-Fontaines'
An irreplaceable summary of the history of this village in which, over the centuries, wars, rabies, plague, and enfeodations could in no way affect the beauty, the art of living and the vitality of Pernes. By putting the past into the present, this book on the city of Pernes invites us to travel. A journey through history, a time machine, it takes us through the streets, into the heart of the fountains, into the daily life of a past where centuries speak of their legend. Through the monuments and events that illustrated this small town from Comtadine, the authors have perpetuated, in their own way, the oral tradition by reviving the country chapels surrounded by the legend of their patron saints, the flour and oil mills, the flour and oil mills, the picturesque bories and the ancient hotels of the old town that proudly taunt time.
