Historical book on the Belcastel family and château.

By Luc DEVAUX

Summary: Belcastel, saga of Rouergue is the first book to cover the history of the Chateau deBelcastel in Aveyron. Narrated like an adventure in a time machine, you'll begin your journey in 450 BC and end up in 1500. Each century will bring one or more stones to the understanding of the final edifice. The truths set out in this book may not respect the ethics of academic writing, but they are no less true and deliberately playful, humorous and, above all, intended for all audiences. This book is a new page in a story that's just beginning.

The author: Born in 1958 in Madagascar, nothing predestined Luc Devaux to write or play the role of historian. A graduate of the École Supérieure de Technologies Électriques, his life has been a succession of significant events across eighty-five countries. Attracted by the millennia-old stones of Château de Belcastel and its owner, he seeks the closest possible truth about the château, its family and its origins.
