My Grape Village: The Sequel to the Bestseller "My Grape Escape"

by Laura Bradbury · 2014

+ Want to read

Five years after their first move to France, Laura and Franck return to Burgundy with a new ambition: restoring a crumbling winemaker's cottage that dates back to the 1500s and stands behind Franck's family home. The job means rebuilding nearly everything from the ground up. Meanwhile, the couple now has two small children who must adapt to a French school and its unfamiliar customs. Laura faces a fresh set of challenges, from differing ideas about raising kids to life in a tight-knit village, and even a stubborn official with strict opinions about paint. Through setbacks and small victories, the family leans on love, good meals and regional wine as they build a life in the French countryside.
