About this product

Product Information

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.

    A Year In Provence

    I read this book like 6 years ago that a friend recommended I read before our trip to France, Provence. I returned her copy after the trip, so I wanted to have my own copy so I could read it again to bring back memories of the trip. Cant wait to read it again to be taken back, again. Fun read.

    Fun escape to France

    Enjoyable read. It made me feel like I was living in Provence along with the author. He has a great way of telling tales to bring them to life.

    I want another year in Provence.

    Always charming and at times hilarious, Peter Mayle invites us into his life in Southern, rural France to experience the local culture and the idiosyncrasies of the colorful people. I loved this book and will soon start on the sequel Encore Provence. Hopefully, it will be as good.

    It made me love everything French again

    A year in provence is an amazing book all about discovering the small-town traditions and customs of living in provence. This book is not to be read on an empty stomach!! The detailed menu of each meal is enough to make a person crave for a sandwich au fromage. Every character is so vivid and has their own way of approaching a problem, like how to move a large marble table 40 ft. I have studied french for over 7 years and i was starting to get bored with everything. Then i read my mom's old copy of this book one summer and i was revived. I wanted to go every resturant that mayle wrote about and try my luck hunting for truffles or go searching for the house that mayle lived in. I highly recommend this book for the starving reading that wants a book that really sticks to the bones. Bon ...

    Amusing and Sterotype

    I was interested to read this world famous book, famous in the English speaking world, as I am French I never heard of it in France. However, it is well written and it is very amusing. I am afraid that anybody wishing to settle in France will find it not as sweet as it let's the reader imagine but it gives a glimpse of France famous south region and some tradition. I would be interested to learn what the writter now are thinking of France since the book has been written in 1988.
