Author Description

Through visiting fellow château rescuers from UK Channel 4's first series Escape to the Château DIY, Beyond Paris examines rural France from a home hunter's perspective. Sophie Duncan's witty romp through some of France's less understood regions is informed by 22 years of renovating a 16th century château in deep rural France, south of the medieval city of Carcassonne. While France is the most popular tourist destination in the world, too few discover its riches beyond the capital.
