Join a Francophile author as he shares his experiences of France and the book he has written on the country's undiscovered areas.
A Summer in Gascony is Martin Calder's new travel memoir, set in this still relatively unknown province of southwest France, the home of the swashbuckling heroes D'Artagnan and Cyrano de Bergerac, gutsy red wine, fine sweet wine, Armagnac, cassoulet, magret de canard, medieval bastides, open fields of sunflowers and more geese than people!
A Summer in Gascony will appeal to anyone interested in reading about a rural idyll which epitomises French provincial life and evokes a Gascon world slipping behind the horizon of modern tourism and property markets.
