Provence A-Z: A Francophile's Essential Handbook

From the writer who made Provence his own, a wonderfully engaging “dictionary” of the most fascinating aspects of Provence. This entertaining and informative audiobook is the perfect compliment to any guidebook to France. In over 200 entries Peter Mayle muses on subjects as diverse as architecture, expatriates, the Provencal character, legends, lavender, local climate, church organs, linguistic oddities, and the origins of the Marseilles. Of course there is a strong emphasis on food as well. Mayle takes listeners to both familiar destinations as well as to places they would never otherwise find, and introduces them to fascinating local characters along the way. These are alphabetical entries from A to Z, and convey the joy of discovery of Provence’s most fascinating, curious, and delicious attractions.
