Aboard his sidecar, the writer and adventurer Sylvain Tesson, accompanied by four of his friends, takes you on a journey in the footsteps of Napoleon. A 4,000km journey between Moscow and Paris, in memory of the soldiers of the Grande Armée who perished two hundred years earlier. In 1812, the withdrawal of Napoleon's army to Moscow caused the death of many soldiers who were wiped out by fighting, famine and extreme cold. In this book, Thomas Goisque immortalizes by nearly 100 shots, the epic of this wild equipment.
