Travels Through Europe

Travel round Europe in the 1950s through the lens of Andre de la Varre. Born in Washington D.C. in 1902, Andre quit school at 17, bought a motion picture camera, and went to Europe to find adventure. He wrote of himself: "During the winter of 1938-39 I drove more than 10,000 miles through Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. I covered not only cities and coastal regions but criss-crossed back and forth over the Atlas, Djurdjura, Kebelie, and Aures mountains." See some of his European stops in this Tour.
