As Paul Houde and his historian sidekick, Francis Primeau, travel the highways and byways of the United States, they visit the places that have shaped history. In their company, you’ll discover the events and people who forged the world we live in today. From north to south and east to west, Paul and Francis go in search of places that are often quite ordinary, but have been the scene of extraordinary events. Will you join them?

A mix of escapism, history, and personal reflection, this book follows Paul Houde as he travels across the United States during the filming of Paul dans tous ses états. Conceived as a notebook, punctuated by meticulous observations and “cut scenes,” the format gives free rein to the author’s remarks.
