A Year in Provence – Peter Mayle

In this witty and warm-hearted account, Peter
Mayle tells what it is like to realize a long cherished
dream and actually move into a 200-
year-old stone farmhouse in the remote country
of the Lubéron with his wife and two large dogs.
He endures January’s frosty mistral as it comes
howling down the Rhône Valley, discovers the
secrets of goat racing through the middle of
town, and delights in the glorious regional cuisine.
A Year in Provence transports us into all the
earthy pleasures of Provençal life and lets us live
vicariously at a tempo governed by seasons, not
by days.
