Around forty subscribers were invited to come and collect Denis Vallot’s book, named Montmirail 51 and its surroundings, a new look, which they had already paid for.
At 3 p.m., a dozen of them had passed through the doors of the La Rochefoucauld center, in Montmirail, where the writer had set up for the occasion. He spoke passionately with Éric, a Belgian living in the neighboring department, Aisne. The latter had subscribed to the new book by Denis Vallot for a simple reason: “I like old stones. Having owned a small castle for seven years, I am finding out about the history of the surrounding area. »
Denis Vallot is already thinking about subject of his next bookalthough it is still too early to say more. But it can’t be too long!
One book funds the next
“I don’t make money from these books,” says the writer. “All the money that comes in is reinvested in the next book. »
Thus, with the benefits of the second work, it was enough to sixty subscribers to finance the third volume of his saga. The theme stones and local history I like it a lot. It is therefore towards this editorial line that we must imagine Denis Vallot’s fourth work.
These themes fit naturally into old career path by Denis Vallot. Ancient architecthe worked on numerous projects, including one relating to the Invalids in Paris. “Don’t say that I renovated the Invalides,” jokes the writer, “I only renovated a medical service there!” »
The passion for writing about one’s environment
When asked why he writes, Denis Vallot answers without hesitation: “I like know where I live and make it known. »
And to know the southwest of Marne and the south of Aisne, where it resides, is to inevitably fall in love with it. A passion that shines through in his first three books and that his diligent readers will not fail to find in his next work.
