Who hasn't dreamed to live in the south of France, to see every day azure skies.

Provençal's cooking with fresh salad, the flavours of the olives are strenghten by the different spices used in the marinade.

Peter Mayle tells us his year in provence with wit, warmth and meaningfully.

Throughout the book, he tells us the life of  his neighbors, the Provençaux grocers and butchers and farmers who amuse, confuse, and befuddle him at every turn. A Year in Provence is part memoir, part homeowner's manual, part travelogue, and all charming fun.
