Rupert Wright is a mischievous, bold reporter who has met everyone and tasted everything. This is the best book on the Languedoc. Exquisitely illustrated, this is a book to savour, like a full-throated local Merlot” – Jonathan Miller Sunday Times “Languedoc is what Provence was until about 70 years ago: the British ideal of the south of France. Rupert Wright’s Notes from the Languedoc evokes it so perfectly that the British do not need to leave Britain” – Frank Johnson Daily Telegraph “All you ever wanted to know about the Languedoc, this book is a cultural, historical and contemporary tour de force” – Carla McKay Daily Mail “A hilarious read about the wine, people and history of the area … a story of love, laughter and liquorice allsorts in Languedoc” The Lady “Evocative and intriguing” Woman & Home
