Ever felt like taking a whirlwind tour of France? Wouldn't you like to feel the Gaulish wind in your hair, the splash of the channel on your feet, the taste of great regional cuisine on your lips, along with the joy of seeing your rental car towed away? Join wine writer Robert Mayfield (and his lovely wife, LeAnne Bremer), as they whiz through Normandy and Brittany, with its incredible raw scenery, megaliths, oyster beds, artichoke fields, pink granite cliffs, thousand year-old-cathedrals, and weird masonry. Leaping from the pages of Mayfield's daily journal, you'll take in the history, architecture, and personalities of the region. Back in Paris, the duo is joined by DeWayne-O, and a whole new adventure begins The Ballad of Six and Dix, as father and son-in-law travel to Burgundy, the Rhone Valley, and Southern France. Then it's back up to Dijon, and finally the TGV to Paris, where the journey ends...at a gravesite. From the Manche to Meze, from the barren lansdscapes of Brittany to the bare breasts of the Mediterranean, from fist-fights to dope slaps, from happy hotel concierge to snooty waiter (it is France, after all), this is a deliriously joyful account a glorious country and its people -as seen through American eyes.
