It's a great place to indulge my passion for all-day city walks. I love real 20milers - maybe a complete circuit of Venice, north to south and east to west in Paris, or following the Circle Line by foot in London. One of the key chapters in One Day is set in a fictionalised version of the Greek island of Symi, in the Dodecanese. Like Emma and Dexter, I went there in the early Nineties, on my first traditional beach holidays. In the movie, our budget and schedule didn't allow us to travel to Greece, so those scenes instead take place in Brittany, in the coves around Dinard.

We don't pretend it's Greece - there are no fake palm trees - and we acknowledge that it's Brittany. But it's still beautiful, and the scenes we shot there look lovely. I'm definitely not a beach person: And I really don't understand the attraction of holidays that promise you 'adrenaline thrills' - bungee-jumping would kill me, with or without the rope.

Instead I love cities, and city museums, so it's culture every time. When I was a child, most summers were spent with my grandparents in Ely in Cardiff. I loved these holidays and looked forward to them all year. I have memories of staying up late, a Glamorous Grannies contest, fizzy drinks and not a single green vegetable.

I thought it was heaven. In my teenage years, I used to go on terrible cycling holidays with my friends in the New Forest or on the Isle of Wight, sleeping in flimsy tents and living on flat cider and half-cooked sausages.

Despite the grim conditions and sleepless nights, I still have a fondness for that outdoors life. Los Angeles is about as far from hiking in the Lakes as it's possible to imagine, but I love that place too.

Once or twice, work has allowed me to stay at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood, one of my favourite hotels. Like the better-known Chateau Marmont, it has a reputation for out-of-control rock stars, but I have to say that when I was there I was very well-behaved. Another of my favourite stopping-off places is the Mena House hotel in Cairo - an old-fashioned place that has a fabulous morning view of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Cairo is an incredible city: I'm starting work on my new book at the moment. I have a couple of ideas: So I'm deciding which way to go. Work commitments mean this summer's holiday plans are slightly tentative.

But we are definitely going to a friend's house in Merindol, a tiny village in Provence that we visit every year. And I'd love to do some walking in the Lakes, Scotland or Snowdonia - somewhere British, beautiful and remote - in early summer, with blisters, Mars bars and a light drizzle. That might be a little ambitious with two small children.

Belleville, with its market, is a corner of Paris shorn of tourist bustle. My problem is that I have a sort of travel guilt. I feel I should be getting on with things rather than gadding about around the world. In theory, you ought to be able to write anywhere, but it's hard to concentrate when you're travelling with kids. So this summer I suspect I should be spending more time at my desk. Perhaps a remote Scottish island might be the answer, somewhere like Jura, where George Orwell went to write I'd love the monkish, solitude, the absence of wi-fi, the enforced concentration - though it's also possible that I'd go a little mad.

Kate and William would not have to appear in court. But that would be very rare. France's protection of privacy is entrenched in its culture as well as its case law. Its press targeted its biggest stars like Brigitte Bardot, below, and Alain Delon in the s and s to test it. The Paris Court of Appeal upheld with this judgment: But the next day if the same people are relaxing topless on the beach then they could not, even if it was clearly a public place.

People are starting to realise that private lives can have an impact on public life. Closer is not run by the same company as the British title, it is run by Italian business Mondadori, owned by former president Silvio Berlusconi's holding company Fininvest. The UK magazine today distanced itself from the French publication of the same name and these pictures. In this respect the comments made by the Editor of the French edition which have reported in the media today do not reflect the opinions of Closer magazine UK.

Closer magazine UK takes its obligations under the PCC Code extremely seriously and would never publish topless images of a member of the Royal family on its cover or otherwise. A senior royal source told MailOnline: Specifically alluding to the death of Princess Diana, William's mother, who was killed in a Paris car crash in as she was chased by paparazzi, the source said: Earlier yesterday the Duchess visited a hospice and chatted with Zakwan for 15 minutes before signing his birthday card and telling him he was 'very. Kate also delivered a speech at Hospis Malaysia - a cause very close to her heart.

Publication of the pictures is bound to reignite the row about privacy even though ironically they were taken in France - which has some of the strictest privacy laws in the world. The pictures were allegedly taken while Kate was on holiday with William, in France last week. Pictures have already surfaced on the continent of the couple sunbathing, where the Duchess was wearing a skimpy bikini. Kate at the Kranji Memorial in Singapore as part of her and William's tour.

The wreath included a message from William's grandmother, which read: A blurb accompanying the racy pictures published by the French magazine refers to the Luberon area of Provence with the words: The full text reads: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge enjoying their first official engagement on their nine-day tour of Asia at the stunning Botanic Gardens in Singapore. The pictures are said to show the couple smearing sun cream over their bodies in between taking a dip in plus 30 degree temperatures, the magazine explains. A spokesman for the Duchess declined to comment last night in advance of publication.

The pictures were allegedly taken last week, while the couple were on holiday at Chateau d'Autet, set amid acres of woodland in the picturesque Luberon region. The chateau is surrounded by woods and a carpet of lavender fields. A source told the Mail: But there can be little doubt of the magnitude of their anger and disgust if the publication does indeed publish such intimate pictures.

When photographs taken of Prince Harry partying naked a girl in his Las Vegas hotel room were sold to a US website last month they caused a worldwide internet sensation, even though only one newspaper in the UK chose to publish them. The timing of publication could not be worse as the Cambridges are almost midway though a hugely successful tour on behalf of the Queen to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee.

They arrived in Singapore on Tuesday and are currently in Malaysia before travelling onto Borneo and then the South Pacific. Malaysia is a largely Muslim country with laws on public decency which makes the timing even more awkward. The pictures were clearly taken on private property using cameras with extremely long lenses, which means no British newspaper would publish them.

    8. The lavender fields at the chateau, a 19th century hunting lodge owned by Viscount Linley. A table on the terrace where the royal couple have a glorious view of the huge estate. But rather like the photographs of Prince Harry, it seems that there is little St James's Palace can do about them - such as taking out an injunction to stop their publication.

    All the palace will be able to do is express their anger and disgust. The photographs were taken at the magnificent Chateau D'Aulet, set in acres of rolling countryside and surrounded by fields of lavender. Close to the medieval village of Viens, it is owned by Viscount Linley, the Queen's nephew and his wife Serena. Although it is their private holiday residence it can be rented out by wealthy holidaymakers and can house 17 people in four separate properties.

    It is based around a 19th Century hunting lodge, which the Viscount, who makes bespoke furniture, lovingly restored. It also also has a heated swimming pool, tennis court and a spacious terrace with an al fresco dining area and magnificent views across miles of countryside. The lodge was bought by the Linleys in after they were introduced to the area by Peter Mayle, the author of the bestselling book A Year in Provence. William and Kate were staying at the secluded Chateau D'Autet, which is set in acres of A website promoting the property as a holiday destination states that 'its uniqueness is peace and quiet' and claims 'during your stay you need never leave the property'.
