Provence in Ten Easy Lessons (A Vintage Short)

Provence in Ten Easy Lessons (A Vintage Short)

No one knows Provence like beloved author Peter Mayle, and in this delightful collectionâ€”adapted from Provence A-Z: A Francophileâ€™s Essential Handbookâ€”he distills his decades of living in France into ten essential lessons for visitors. Abandoning the well-trodden â€œbest ofâ€ routes that can be found in any tourist guide, Mayle highlights local features vital to an authentic ProvenÃ§al experience. From ruminations on the unique charms of each season to the art of the siesta, Mayle brings the warmth and beauty of the province vividly to life. And, of course, food and wine also get their due, as Mayle expounds the merits of pastis and a good rosÃ©, explores the mystery of traditional market shopping, and more. Evocative and intimate, Provence in Ten Easy Lessons is charming yet practical reading for ticketed passengers and armchair travelers, alike.
