Vive le Chaos - My So-Called Tranquil Family Life in Rural France

Follow the hilarious misadventures of Ian Moore and his family as their search for serenity in rural France leads them on a journey of chaos, commotion and comedy Comedian, mod and professional grump Ian Moore has had enough. Tired of being unable to park anywhere near his cramped house in a noisy town he doesn''t like, he hatches a plan to move his wife and young son to a remote corner of the Loire Valley in search of serenity and space. Several years later, Ian finds himself up to his neck in bilingual offspring, feral cats, promiscuous horses, dysfunctional spaniels and needy hens; he''s wrestling with electric fences, a foreign language, a mountain of animal waste and a wife who collects livestock like there''s a biblical flood on the horizon, all while trying not to dirty his pristine loafers. But despite the ups, downs and increasing demands of Ian''s showbiz career, the Moore family persevere in true Brit style to create a unique, colourful and ultimately rewarding life in their new home - a la campagne!
