This book focuses specifically on Romanesque architecture, detailing twelve lesser-known churches located in Southern Manche, Normandy, that were built between the 10th and 12th centuries.

The album is richly illustrated with photographs taken by Alain Dermigny and Claude Rayon, capturing the intricate details of the churches, such as their gates, towers, and stone carvings. Beyond mere architectural appreciation, it provides insights into the cultural life of the region during the Middle Ages, emphasizing the communal efforts involved in the building of these churches and their continuing relevance to historical and architectural studies.
