A joyous and life-affirming story of one family' s move from London to a rural French villageThere it stands, a thousand-year-old ruin ignored by the Languedoc villagers of Causses-et-Veyran who pass by it on their way to the church next door. But for Londoners Trevor and Kaz it' s coup de foudre - love at first sight - and they buy One Place de L' Eglise. Over the years they turn the house into a home. They navigate the language (apparently preservatif' s are not something put in sausages), floods and freezing winters. They make friends and encounter heartbreak. And eventually they find their place - their bar, their baker, their builder (ignore him at your peril). One Place de L' Eglise is a love letter - to a house, a village, a country - from an outsider who discovers you can never be a stranger in a place that your heart calls home.
A timeless story of what it is that makes France irresistible -- Michael Palin
Trevor Dolby spent thirty-five years riding his luck publishing and editing books. When he was promoted beyond his talents he bought a house in France. He now lives in the Languedoc and London fending off visitors.
