Emily and Madam and M. Montoni went to Turin and Emily describes the area as desolate and war torn. 

Emily travels through the plains of Languedoc more than once during her journeys. This region contains the captial of Toulouse. As well as now contained in the modern day region of Occitane. 

It is a region significant to the production of wine and fun fact! has more than a third of the grapes in all of France. 

The landscape is rich in vibrate greens and rocky mountains. It is a beautiful place to visit and if you like to drink and learn about wine. 

Emily and her father are welcomed by peasants living in the shadows of the Villeroi chateau. Monsieur St. Aubrey is "agitated" to discover this, and mentions that they must be "so near Le-Blanc" (95). The Villeroi estate is the most haunting setting provided in the novel at the point of its debut. The mystery of the Villeroi family later plays a significant role in the novel.

Goodrich Castel is a real-life castle that William Wordsworth visited in his lifetime. One of those visits caused the inspiration of the poem "We Are Seven."The castle has stood since the 11th century and was named after an English landowner named Godric- who built the first castle. What remains today is because of William de Valence, Henry III's half-brother.  Valence had the castle rebuilt in the late 13th century. Little changed the castle until 1646. That is when a two-month siege put the defenses of the castle to the test.
