In 1923, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Margaret Macdonald went on holiday to Roussillon, in the South of France, to rest and recuperate. Her health was poor and as an architect and designer he had become outmoded. They were enchanted. The holiday became a permanent stay and Mackintosh rapidly developed his talents as an artist. They spent the last and possibly the happiest years of their life together in this earthly paradise., which is Roussillon.

Robin Crichton, President of the Association CRM en Roussillon, follows in Mackintosh's footsteps, rediscovering as he did the culture and beauty of the region and how it inspired his painting. Crichton's own love of Roussillon shines through, and his elegiac prose sits in perfect harmony with Mackintosh's splendid paintings.
