Publisher's Summary

When Peter Mayle and his wife traded England's long, gray winters and damp summers for life in southern France, they entered an enchanting, wonderful, sometimes bewildering world. Now, share their adventures, pleasures, and frustrations: the joys and occasional hazards of wining and dining in France, taking part in goat races, attending a Pavorotti concert under the stars - and much more. Meet Provence's unique characters: a wary truffle hunter, a gourmet in a track suit, the wise and crafty Massot - and many more.

Funny, touching, endearing - Peter Mayle's Provence proves the adage that while you may not be able to escape from it all, you sure can have fun trying.

Never disappointed!

I love the way he writes. I love the narration. I’ve listen to these books over and over again and I’m always picking up something new that I missed before. Just very entertaining, the world will miss him.

Eden for Mental Travellers

Covid may have postponed travel but until we can sally forth, this book is a great substitute for the real thing.
