The Musical Journey series of releases juxtaposes picturesque views of key landmarks with classical music on the soundtrack, the pieces chosen for their relevance to the city or region on display. This particular volume transports the audience to picturesque Brittany and Normandy in Northern France, and to Burgundy and Franche-Comté in Eastern France, as well as the Pays de la Loire. Specific sites visited here include Chartres Cathedral, Notre Dame du Haut, and the polyptych by Roger van der Weyden. Gabriel Fauré composed the music on the soundtrack, which includes Requiem, Pavane, the Berceuse, and Sicilienne.
