One lovely gem, which is published as a bilingual English and French booklet, will be a delight to any visitor who enjoys the Diois. Renowned American author Henry Miller was a regular visitor to and great fan of Die. In 1959, while he was living in Big Sur, California, Miller wrote a short essay about his appreciation of Die, its people and its surroundings.

The essay was in the form of a letter to his friend Francis Druart, who was at the time the philosophy teacher at the high school in Die. The essay was published by La Fosse Aux Ours in June 2007 under the title “Jours heureux à Die” (Happy Days in Die) and is available at the bookshop in Die.
