NATIONAL BESTSELLER • 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.

From the moment Peter Mayle and his wife, Jennie, uprooted their lives in England and crossed the Channel permanently, they never looked back. Here the beloved author of A Year in Provence pays tribute to the most endearing and enduring aspects of his life in France—the charming and indelible parade of village life, the sheer beauty, the ancient history. He celebrates the café and lists some of his favorites; identifies his favorite villages, restaurants, and open-air markets; and recounts his most memorable meals. A celebration of twenty-five years of Provençal living—of lessons learned and changes observed—with his final book Mayle has crafted a lasting love letter to his adopted home, marked by his signature warmth, wit, and humor.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The New Year began with a lunch in the village of Lacoste, a few miles away from Le Simiane. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere relaxed. We had been here many times as tourists, desperate for our annual ration of two or three weeks of true heat and sharp light. #2 The French have a weakness for erecting jolies villas wherever building regulations allow, and sometimes where they don’t, particularly in areas of pristine and beautiful countryside. The Lubéron Mountains rise up immediately behind the house to a high point of nearly 3,500 feet, and they run for about forty miles from west to east. #3 The French spoken by our new neighbors was not the French we had learned in school, but a rich and delicious patois that emerged from somewhere in the back of their throat and passed through their nasal passages before coming out as speech. They seemed to be a contented family. #4 The Provençales were proud of the Mistral, a wind that blew for fifteen days straight. It caused problems in Provence, from absenteeism from work to domestic squabbles.

The ultimate “dictionary” for lovers of Provence: Peter Mayle's personal selection of the foods, customs and words he finds most fascinating, curious, delicious, or just plain fun. Though organized from A to Z, this is hardly a conventional work of reference. In more than 170 entries, Peter Mayle—bestselling author of A Year in Provence—writes about subjects as wide-ranging as architecture and zingue-zingue-zoun (in the local patois, a word meant to describe the sound of a violin). And, of course, he writes about food and drink: vin rosé, truffles, olives, melons, bouillabaisse, the cheese that killed a Roman emperor, even a cure for indigestion. Provence A-Z is a delight for Peter Mayle's ever-growing audience and the perfect complement to any guidebook on Provence, or, for that matter, France.
