Thanks. I have not read Black Dogs, although I like McEwan and have read several books of his including Atonement, Saturday, and the Cement Garden. I will have to get hold of a copy. Since I left that comment my wife has expressed a desire to see the Italian lakes - but maybe we'll return to Languedoc another time.Good luck with the house letting!

A house in the Languedoc, with a library? Sounds idyllic! When we visited the area in 2004 we camped near Beziers. It was a memorable holiday. We sweltered in a traffic jam near Sete, then got caught in a thunder storm at Carcassonne! The drive down from Brittany took two days but that’s what I call travelling [beats flying any time].

This summer we will be staying with a French couple in the Luberon, but perhaps I will check out your website for future reference?

PS Can I recommend Rupert Wright’s book “Notes from the Languedoc” – tagged under travel in my library.
