Having spent a gloomy semester in Paris as a student long ago,
Franny Laforet is one Californian who doesn't harbor any romantic
notions about France. All the same, she finds herself drafted as
scout for a group of friends planning a reunion at a Provencal
chateau. Her plane unfortunately lands at De Gaulle at the time of
the attack on the World Trade Center. With the rest of the group
stuck back home due to the cancellation of transatlantic flights,
Franny seems fated to a lonely vacation spent exploring the
countryside around the chateau and speculating about the natives.
The natives meanwhile have their own preoccupations. The chatelain
himself, Hughes Degency, an ex-banker struggling to establish an
organic winery, has been reduced to camping out in the woods while
he rents his posh residence to Americans he detests. Franny and
Hughes soon discover that national antagonism is no obstacle to
sexual attraction. Serendipity eventually fills the chateau with a
mixture of French and American guests whose intentions are not
uniformly honorable. Amidst the ensuing bustle, cross-cultural
debates and nefarious schemes, the would-be lovers will have a very
short time to work out their feelings.
