SOME FACTS About LACROIX
In the novel, Lacroix castle was the summer residence of Marshal Philippe Pétain, Chief of State of the French collaborationist government at Vichy during WWII.
In the novel, Lacroix castle is located in a peaceful beautiful region in the true heart of France. There are more than 40,000 castles in France and not all of them are Medieval; in fact, some can be dated back to the 9th century, all the way until the present.
France has written key pages in the European history, and castles play a key role in many of those stories.
"When our world seems to come to an end and we’re at the end of our rope, if we’re brave enough to break with the past and start a new life, fate may give us another chance, it may surprise us with the unexpected, making all sacrifices worthwhile."
