L'auberge. Un hostal en los pirineos (Fogas Chronicles #1)
by
Julia Stagg (Goodreads Author)
El pequeño pueblo de Fogas en los Pirineos franceses está revolucionado: el Auberge des Deux Vallées ha sido adquirido por una pareja de ingleses en lugar de por el cuñado del alcalde, como estaba planeado. Todo el mundo está horrorizado ante la idea de que unos ingleses regenten un restaurante y se temen los peores desastres gastronómicos.

This book came labelled as Joanne Harris meets Clochemerle. It's a long long time since Clochemerle and I can barely remember it, but I love Joanne Harris, so this had a lot to live up to. Did it make the grade? Yes, I loved it. The Websters, the English couple who fell in love with a small part of France and wanted to make it their future, find reality hitting them in the face with the minutiae of French politics. Papon, the Mayor, makes a superb baddie but he's a 3D person, not just someone to...more
I loved L'Auberge. This is your typical sweet, heart warming, well written, laugh out loud fiction. Nothing wrong with that on the contrary, it provides a few hours of laughter and entertainment. And having encountered French bureaucracy, I dare say it does capture the funny side of the French. All of the characters are lovable or funny, even the villains. As for French cooking there is a part where someone mentions a great French chef Jamio Le Vert whose food is the best. Well, guess what, it t...more
No pude disfrutar la novela, ya que no logré engancharme. Tuve que hacer varios descansos a lo largo de la lectura, y al volver a coger la novela tardaba mucho en volver a entrar en situación, no me sentía participe de ella, ni siquiera un observador. Me encontraba completamente fuera de la trama
Uno de los puntos que lograron divertirme fueron la variedad de alusiones veladas, o mejor dicho acusaciones directas al desastre que supondría que unos ingleses fueran los dueños del Restaurante del Hos...more

After having read The Book Thief I wanted something lighter, something that'd make me giggle, if not laugh out right.
At first I was indecisive between two titles, one by Stephen Fry, the other this. In the end though I found this tale delightful after a test reading for 10 pages or so. Also, it was a simple story.
Being from Taiwan where good, hot food is readily available almost 24/7 even on a public holiday, the rumours of UK food had long haunted me before my departure for the 2 years of study...more

Zunächst mal muss ich sagen, dass ich den deutschen Titel etwas unglücklich bzw. irreführend gewählt finde. Auch wenn Monsieur Papon eine wichtige Rolle spielt ist er keineswegs der Protagonist der Geschichte. Im Original heißt das Buch L'Auberge und das finde ich sehr treffen. Es geht nämlich um ein englisches Ehepaar, das ein heruntergekommenes Hotel (L'Auberge) in einem französischen Berg-Dorf gekauft hat um dort ein Restaurant zu eröffnen. Ohweh, Englänger, die meinen, Franzosen bekochen zu...more
I may be biased about this book, considering the author comes from the same town as me and went to the same college as me, but I thought it was rather good.
On an impulse, English couple Lorna and Paul buy an Auberge (a pub/inn) in a little French commune. The mayor is not best pleased though, and soon sets about doing everything be can to shut the business down.
The majority of the book is about Lorna and Paul's attempt to keep their auberge open, and the locals as they try to help or hinder them...more

Ik heb eerder al De dorpswinkel van Madame Josette gelezen van Julia Stagg. Dit is eigenlijk het vervolg op Met de Franse slag. Dat stoorde me toen niet echt, want ik kon volgen zonder het eerste deel gelezen te hebben. Ik heb dit boek met veel plezier gelezen en wilde het eerste boek toch ook eens lezen. Nu is het er eindelijk van gekomen!
Het eerste wat ik wil zeggen is dat ik het boek echt heel ‘leuk’ vond. Normaal gezien vind ik ‘leuk’ maar een oppervlakkige beschrijving, maar nu gebruik ik h...more

Una storia molto, molto carina, ma proprio non arrivo a darle quella stella in più. Il problema è che l'autrice apre troppe parentesi: chi è il protagonista?
La coppia inglese che compra l'albergo sui Pirenei? Non proprio.
Il sindaco machiavellico ma con, alla fine, il cuore tenero? Nemmeno
Gli abitanti del paese, come in una moderna Peyton Place? Non sono convinta, nonostante le madri single e la coralità nel rincorrere il toro Sarko.
Il fantasma del marito morto? Non ho nemmeno ben capito cosa ci...more

I have to say that I really loved this book. It was light and easy to read, but at the same time I didn't want to put it down and so finished it in one day. It's a warm and enjoyable story, set in a French village, about a young English couple who buy the local Auberge, much to the horror of the locals who fear English cooking above almost everything else. The villain of the piece is the local mayor who has his heart set on obtaining the property for his brother-in-law and is determined to drive...more

Okay, I admit it--picked it up because it's set in France (and was recommended by a source I thought trustworthy).
This is a dreadfully-written book, and very tedious and slow. Could NOT finishe. Life is just too short for drek.

Pare proprio di vivere lì.. L'epicerie, l'ufficio postale e soprattutto l'Auberge a cui serve nuova linfa, donata proprio da chi non ti aspetti.. Inglesi! Tanti personaggi le cui storie si intrecciano in un piccolo paesino che sa essere ostile quanto generoso!
Molto carino, ricorda molto lo stile della Harris e dell'impareggiabile chocolat.
Een heerlijke feelgood roman. Het verhaal leest vlot. Je leeft echt met de hoofdpersonen mee. Ik kan er verder niet teveel over zeggen, want dan verklap ik wellicht iets. Het boek is echt een aanrader. Ik kan niet wachten op het vervolg.

A fantastic read, and having lived in France it is oh so true!! Would recommend the book to others!
Lo he pasado francamente bien con estos franceses y sus confabulaciones para echar a los ingleses de allí xD
Un estilo maravilloso el de esta autora :)

I got bored with it. I won't be reading the other two in the trilogy. Cf http://www.goodreadingguide.com/LAube... for a cracking review.
Carino e leggero, che mette di buon umore. Sembra un po' di film di Chocolate messo per iscritto, ma non raggiunge la profondità di Joanne Harris.
Eine freundliche Geschichte nach dem groben Strickmuster von Chocolat, aber bei Weitem nicht so bezaubernd und durch und durch vorhersehbar.

Julia Stagg has led a nomadic existence, spending most of her adult life abroad. Most recently she ran a small auberge/restaurant in the French Pyrenees and this was where the Fogas Chronicles were born.

The first in the series, L'Auberge, was published in May 2011 and is a heart-warming comedy based around the lives, loves and machinations of the inhabitants of the small commune of Fogas in the A
