Synopsis
In the early 1970s, Michael Croucher, a documentary filmmaker for the BBC, journeyed through the French countryside, filming the everyday ways of its people and village life in such places as Perigord and Najac, Villefranche de Rouergue and Carennac. At the time, rural France was unknown to most Britons and this series provided a window on a way of life that, at the time, seemed exotic. The narrator is Eric Thompson. 7 episodes.
