Following the summer holiday which features in My Father's Glory, the family returns to Marseille but Marcel still yearns for the hills.

Although only a few kilometers outside Marseille, the journey to the holiday home is time consuming as public transport takes them only a short portion of the way and the rest is a walk along a long, winding road.
