After having followed the journeys of migrating birds and recounted life in the oceans in the company of whales, Jacques Perrin and Jacques Clauzaud take us on a journey through time, exploring the European landscape. It is the story of a major climate change taking place eighty thousand years ago, when the snows retreated and forests covered the whole continent in a short period of time. This was the beginning of a global metamorphosis, leading to the conditions permitting the appearance of homo sapiens. Les Saisons recounts the inextricable bond linking man and nature in a spectacular and intriguing manner.
