520    France is one of the most visited countries in the world 
       and one of the least known. This book takes you beyond the
       superficial coverage of conventional guidebooks history, 
       architecture, etc. in search of the deeper truths. A Guide
       to Mystical France takes you deep under the psychic skin 
       of France into the invisible dimensions that our 
       materialistic world does its best to ignore. Science stops
       at the most interesting questions. To describe, say a 
       painted prehistoric cave as a sacred space used for ritual
       is to beg more questions than it answers. It is impossible
       to fully appreciate the cathedral of Notre-Dame, Mont St 
       Michel, or the alignments of Carnac if you do not 
       understand the reasons these structures were built and 
       they way they have been used over the centuries. The book 
       makes no assumptions. The reader is not required to 
       believe anything. He is merely pointed in the direction of
       the invisible and the hidden and left to judge for himself
