This book offers a tour of France's allotments, from their beginnings some 130 years ago to the collective gardens of today: Achicourt, Gravelines, Hazebrouck, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, Ivry-sur-Seine, Vaulx-en-Velin, Saint-Étienne, Cholet, Sedan, Le Creusot, Clermont-Ferrand, Toulouse...

Raphaèle Bernard-Bacot's witty and lively drawings, combined with archive photos, give a better understanding of the extraordinary social and human experience of these allotments. The book is supported throughout by gardening tips.
