At Home in the Pays d'Oc
A young English couple excitedly unpack their belongings in their new holiday home in the tiny Languedoc village of Morbignan la Cr癡be. They are at the start of what will be a 30-year adventure; at the end of it their lives will be changed beyond recognition.

He looks at her pityingly, then his eyes widen. Londoners to the core, they gradually find themselves seduced by the charms and idiosyncrasies of the little village.

They will meet the Velcro bird, the stark-naked builder, the neighbour who cuts the phone lines. And when a small brown and white dog walks into their lives, they are quite ready to make their home in the Pays d'Oc.
