Le château de la Martinière est château fictif situé à Gassin, dans la presqu'île de Saint-Tropez.
Il apparaît dans le livre Le Domaine de l'héritière de Lucinda Riley.
Le dessin de la couverture de l'ouvrage est directement inspiré du château de Villandry.
Histoire
modifier« "I first came across the setting for Château de la Martinières when my husband and I were driving back through France to England. To break the journey, we stayed overnight at a beautiful old château in the Rhone Valley. And it was then, as I sat in the gorgeous lavender-filled courtyard, that I told my husband that a French chateau such as this was where I wanted to set my new story.
A few months later, I returned to France to begin writing the first draft in earnest and decided to move the location of the chateau to Gassin, a beautiful medieval hilltop village close to our home.
As with all my books, I research the past time period before I start writing. I did this, for this book, by reading everything I could find on the brave women of the SOE (Special Operations Executive) in the 1939-45 war. I read very broadly as a rule, because I never know where the actual story will head. Even though I’m manic about making sure my facts are correct, I’m a storyteller first, not a historian.
As part of my research on the southern coast of France and how life was during the war, when I’d finished the first draft of ‘The Light Behind the Window’, I came across a wonderful elderly man – Monsieur Chapelle of the Domaine du Bourriane, whose surname, chateau and vineyard I’d written about before I knew such a family and their beautiful home actually existed in reality. I had walked into my own fictional story and it was a humbling and magical experience. This has happened to me on other occasions to." »« NAW Interview With Lucinda Riley », New Asian Writing, 10 juin 2014 ([url]http://www.new-asian-writing.com/naw-interview-with-lucinda-riley/[/url])
