For me this book held a real fascination because it details the history of the Lauragais region of France where I now find myself living. The book covers every important period throughout French history from 'Before Christ' up to the modern day.

Although a small part of France, the Lauragais played an important and significant role in the creation of modern day France.

For anyone visiting this region the book would be a perfect travel accompaniment to help bring to life some of the castles, cities and towns they might visit. And for those living in France interested in the history of this region they need look no further. ( )
