Join acclaimed writer Peter Fiennes in the company of some of Frances greatest writers as he celebrates French literature, art, landscape, food and wine, and explores the identity of this sublime, mysterious and sometimes fractious country.
Drink with de Beauvoir in the bars of Rouen; follow Edith Whartons Motor-Flight along the Loire Valley to the home of George Sand; linger near Bordeaux with Franois Mauriac, join Colette in the trenches at Verdun... and head to Paris to consign Maupassant to an asylum and Sartre to his grave.
