A Great Find August 27, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you're thinking of travelling to South West France or even buying a house in the region this book is a real find. Though this area of France has been belatedly discovered over the last few years, certainly since Ryanair started operating from Carcassonne, there is little information in English to help the visitor make the most of it and this collection of diary entries charting the move of Jean-Marc and Randy L'Officier (and their dog Maggie) from Los Angeles to the charming village of Chalabre gives a real inside knowledge. As the days, weeks and months progress you absorb a real feeling for the flavour of the area, the traditional local way of life and friendliness of the local community, the beauty of the scenery in the changing seasons as well as all the pitfalls and obstacles of buying and renovating an old house. We found it really useful on a practical level too as it's packed with information on the lovely villages and towns of the area, the best restaurants, shops and markets and even recipes. An ideal book for anyone interested in this beautiful and still very untouristy region.
