The village of Grignan in Drôme hits all the criteria for a secret French hideaway

Brits looking to escape the Olympics are renting out their homes in record numbers and temporarily heading for greener, less-crowded pastures in the bucolic countryside. Places reachable in less than fours hours -- such as Somerset, known for rolling hills and cider, and charming villages in the Cotswolds like Stow-on-the-Wold -- are popular.

As hordes of fans enthusiastic to get close to the setting of Stieg Larsson's "Millennium" trilogy swarm Stockholm, plenty of Swedes head west to the ruggedly tranquil "crime fiction coast," where renowned writers & readers similar hole up in places like blustery Marstrand, the rocky  Islands & charming ckskil, the former summer grounds of Ingrid Bergman as well as a source of inspiration for modern crime-fiction writer Camilla , whose novel "The Ice Princess" is set there.
