His interest in provincial themes developed through work for Independent Television News and as a correspondent for The Observer (1960–66), mainly writing about culture. His book The New French Revolution, first published in 1968, has been updated many times, most recently as France in the New Century: Portrait of a Changing Society (1999) Ardagh wrote other books to reflect "real" life in Europe.
