Un año en Provenza

In the late 1980s, Peter Mayle and his wife moved to Provence in France with the intention of settling in the area for a while and writing a novel. Captivated by the beauty of the landscape and the daily life of this seductive land, the Mayles made Provence their new home. What was supposed to be an innocent trip turned into a touching and surprising clash between two cultures, that of the American couple who was arriving and that of the French who welcomed them. This is how this book was born, a delicious account that describes, month by month, the peculiarities that the couple experienced in their first year while discovering the area and its most picturesque inhabitants. A trip that will take you through the pleasures of Provencal life and that becomes a claim for another way of life.
