Published by Hachette, this French-language issue dates from the week of 10–17 February 1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover features a turquoise-blue bird perched beside a hollow in a deeply textured tree trunk. Pale blue sky, brown bark, and a yellow border create a striking colour contrast. A red butterfly adds another bright accent near the lower corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBotanical Illustrations\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe back cover presents “On reconnaît l’arbre à sa feuille,” a botanical identification chart arranged in thirty illustrated panels. Individually labelled examples include maple, birch, oak, fig, beech, ash, walnut, olive, willow, and vine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe illustrations compare leaf shapes, needles, and branching forms within a clear rectangular grid. This botanical page remains part of the magazine, rather than a separately supplied print. Its orderly layout offers an appealing contrast with the detailed bird painting on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAviation, History and Science\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Le Vol à Voile” explores gliding through illustrations, explanatory text, and a map of French gliding centres. A red-and-white sailplane flies above a patchwork landscape of green fields and scattered buildings. Smaller illustrations accompany discussions of motorless flight and pilot training.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Les Monuments de l’Antique Rome” includes a colour reconstruction of the Roman Forum. Temples, columns, steps, and small figures convey the scale and activity of the ancient city. A neighbouring feature discusses Turenne, with a portrait and mounted military figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Les Tremblements de Terre” introduces earthquake science through world maps, an Earth cross-section, diagrams, and an illustrated seismograph. These pages reflect the magazine’s educational approach during the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrees and Seasonal Change\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA “Sylviculture” spread follows a tree through winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Further diagrams explore roots and woodland zones at different elevations. The accompanying “Informations” page mixes animal photographs with cultural news.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery good overall, with vivid colour illustrations and generally clean-looking photographed pages. Light edge and spine wear, small handling creases, and gentle page waviness are visible. Minor corner wear and age-related toning are also present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe issue is reported complete at 20 pages. The photographs show selected spreads, rather than a page-by-page collation.
