An Englishman à la Campagne: Life in Deepest France

Numéro d'article 10222106

Michael Sadler leaves Paris behind and turns his attention to life in the French countryside. With humour and affection, he describes his attempts to become a countryman, from growing leeks in hard French soil and negotiating village life to surviving long communal meals, eccentric neighbours, troublesome mice and the annual garden competition. His encounters with French farmers, wine growers and villagers provide an entertaining portrait of rural France and the everyday differences between English and French ways of life

Foxing on the edges.
