DISCOVER THE JOYS OF RURAL FRANCE with author Joanne Harris
Tour the Lot Valley, the Haute Garonne and Tarn, and visit the region that inspired Chocolat with its novelist
EXCLUSIVE SEVEN-DAY TOUR FROM £1,349pp! LOW SINGLE SUPPLEMENT
MEET OUR SPECIAL GUEST Joining you in the region that inspired her writing will be author Joanne Harris MBE, whose novel Chocolat was made into an Oscar-nominated film. Her latest novel,
The Strawberry Thief, returns to the fictional world of Chocolat.
The gentle pace of life and unspoilt countryside of south-west France are part of its appeal, and ever since author Joanne Harris captured its village life so magically in her bestselling novel Chocolat, we’ve wanted to experience it for ourselves.
On this tour, you’ll explore the region, from the cliffs and hilltop towns of the Lot Valley to Toulouse and history-rich Cahors and Moissac. You’ll meet Joanne in Nérac, where she will give a tour of places that inspired her and hold a Q&A session. Joanne will also give a creative writing talk – a must for aspiring writers.
