Denis Dailleux's 'La France en voie de disparition' captures vanishing rural life
Between 1986 and 1988, photographer Denis Dailleux photographed residents of Chanzeaux, his native village in Maine-et-Loire, France. The series, now published as a photobook, represents both a personal return to a place he fled as a young man and a document of a disappearing world.
