"The Roof of France; Or, the Causses of the Lozère" by Matilda Betham-Edwards is a travel narrative written during the late 19th century. This work is the third volume in the author's travels in France, offering readers a vivid exploration of the lesser-known landscapes of Lozère, particularly its striking limestone plateaus, known as the Causses, and their unique geological and cultural features. At the start of the book, the author introduces her readers to the mesmerizing region of the Lozère, detailing its breathtaking contrasts between the barren, rugged Causses and the fertile valleys below. She shares her personal journey, inspired by English acquaintances, to uncover the marvels of this remote area that few travelers have ventured to explore. The opening portion elaborates on her travels from the town of Le Puy to Mende, amidst stunning natural landscapes, as well as her encounters with the region's distinct culture and the resilient peasant communities that inhabit it. The narrative sets a tone of adventure and discovery, inviting readers into a richly descriptive experience of rural France that blends travelogue with insights into local life and traditions.
