2000s: Emmy Jamieson has made the move to France…life is easy now, non?
Return to the Little French Guesthouse (La Cour des Roses 2 )
What you need to know before your trail
When Emmy Jamieson leaves her life behind and moves to La Cour des Roses, a gorgeous guesthouse amidst vineyards in France, everything is resting on her success as the new guesthouse manager.
Looming in the calendar is the biggest booking ever – a golden wedding anniversary. With airbeds on the floor and caravans in the garden, La Cour des Roses will be bursting at the seams.
Emmy knows she’s up to the challenge, especially with the support of the gorgeous Alain, the half-French, half-English, caramel-eyed accountant. But she hadn’t counted on a naked, sleepwalking travel blogger, or the return of owner Rupert’s venomous ex-wife Gloria.

Loire Valley
Ah this is the kind of a lovely little village in the Loire Valley you’d like to live in! Pierre La Fontaine is the nearby village where you have to get the bus into town and get any shopping you need. There’s not much happening in this little village but that’s the great thing as it’s a typical French, lovely cobbled kind of place where you’d really want to find your own French hunk.
Authors on location : Doue-la-Fontaine
Doue-la-Fontaine is one of the models for the imaginary town of Pierre-la-Fontaine in all the Little French Guesthouse books, and in about the right location.
The zoo at Doué is where Alain and Emmy first kissed in Book 1, and it plays a minor role in Book 3. It’s great fun!
The Troglodyte village at Rochemenier fires the imagination of Alain’s niece and nephew on a visit there in Book 3.
The magnificent château at Chenonceau and the town of Saumur are both places that Emmy visited in Book 2 to get a taste of the region she now calls home.
And when Emmy’s parents visited in Book 1, she took them to Montreuil-Bellay and Chinon, both overlooked by châteaux.
