My Twenty-Five Years in Provence

Author: Peter Mayle

Peter Mayle’s “My Twenty-Five Years in Provence” is a delightful journey through the author’s life in the French countryside. With his trademark wit and keen eye for detail, Mayle paints a vivid picture of Provençal life, from the quirky locals to the mouthwatering cuisine. I found myself chuckling at his misadventures and daydreaming about sipping rosé under the warm Mediterranean sun. It’s a charming memoir that captures the essence of slow living and the joy of embracing a new culture. A perfect escape for Francophiles and armchair travelers alike.

Provence is a country to which I am always returning.
