A Summer in Gascony

A Summer in Gascony: Discovering the Other South of France A Summer in Gascony: Discovering the Other South of France by Martin Calder


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Martin Calder's story of the summer in his twenties that he spent working at an auberge in rural Gascony ranks as one of the best books on life in France that I've read. His feel for the country, the level of detail he remembers about the life and language, was remarkable. One of the best things I can say about a travel book: He made me want to go there.

I'd love to go back to France. It's been almost 10 years for me...

You've been reading a lot of books! :)
