"The Cook, The Rat and The Heretic" by Hugo Soskin

I bought this book from a big book fair in the travel section. The synopsis seems quite good. I finished reading this book in Japan. The first book I read in Japan. The plot was not bad, but quite difficult to read.
The Cook, The Rat and the Heretic
It's about a man and his wife's adventure in France in a travel van. Since the man, Hugo had spent a few years in Spain, the couple to decided to move to Spain in an old converted VW van. They decided to travel leisurely without a schedule, did some touristy things along the way. The story was about the time they spent in French. 

When Hugo was a kid, his father made films about the Rennes-le-Chateau and the hidden treasure of Priory of Sion. And he did not take a liking to that. However, when he was near the place, he took a detour to that place. After a series of hiatus, he and his wife ended up agreeing to work in a campsite near the Rennes-le-Chateau. At the campsite, they met with a lot of interesting people, some even thought that he had inside information about the hidden treasure and made life difficult for him. However, all well end's well. They made  through it and finally went to Spain as they planned earlier.
