This flora is intended to help readers look at the wildflowers around them in order to identify them, get to know them, love them and preserve them. The authors began by identifying the plants that bloomed around their house as nature gradually transformed their lawn into a kind of meadow. Then they went out and walked the streets, paths and woods around their village and the surrounding area. They photographed the plants from the beginning of spring until the onset of winter, and compiled around 150 cards which, as well as a botanical description of each species, include information on its properties, the origin of its name, possible confusion and numerous stories and anecdotes.

The book also includes a simple identification method, a brief history of botany and a reminder of the particular local geology (plains, granite massifs, volcanic areas, faults and mineral springs).
