BoondocksGlam asked Rachel Hore:

As part of your research, do you physically visit locations you write about in your book if the locations has a place of prominence in the story?

Rachel Hore I try to if I can. If I only write about it in the past then I usually research it through books and film. In A A Gathering Storm, for instance, there was a little bit towards the end set in Marseille and the Carmargue, and I used what I had read to imagine those places. In A Week In Paris, I wrote about the Paris I knew from visits over the years as well as the one I read about.
