A White House in Gascony: Escape to the Old French South

Literature & Fiction

Victor Gollancz, Ltd.

In 1983 journalist Rex Grizell and his French wife decamped from their Westminster town house to a remote corner of south-west France. This is an often amusing account of their new life - how the property was bought, the trials of modernizing the house and developing the gites, and the delicate process of being accepted into the local community. The Gascons are jovial, hot-blooded and, it seems, highly-sexed. Grizell draws an unsentimental picture of a gallery of vivid local characters. He also writes of the hedonistic side of life in Gascony - the food and wine, the uninhibited al fresco parties and the beautiful benevolent landscape.

In 1983, journalist Rex Grizell and his French wife left the sophistication of a Westminster town house to face the challenge of an unfamiliar life in a remote corner of south-west France. This is an account of how their property was bought, the trials - often hilarious - of modernizing it; and the delicate process of being accepted into the local community.  A shrewd picture is drawn of local characters, and Rex Grizell also writes evocatively of the simpler, more hedonistic side of life in Gascony.
