The studio shot captures every stroke and line on the manuscript with utmost clarity. As we explore this horizontal landscape, we are transported back in time to witness the physical geography of Rouen, Nimes, and Bordeaux. The rolling landscape depicted here reveals an elevated view that beautifully illustrates the natural beauty surrounding these towns.
