The author tells the story of how they set out to find their new home and turned it into a small but exclusive holiday business with all its worries, dramas and hilarious anecdotes.
Paddy has been urged and inspired to write of their adventures by countless numbers of their guests from around the world who have been captivated by the story, and by their many French friends. "To France - With Love!" gives a strong flavour of Southern France, as well as many new, often comic, insights into the age-old Franco-British relationship. It is a lively story spiced with moments of hard graft, hilarity, despair, luck and - ultimately -success.
