Toujours Provence by Peter Mayle

Push your cold weather blues away with an escape to the south of France! Peter Mayle, a British expat, writes about his life in picturesque Provence. As the pages turn, Mayle brings to life the sights and sounds of the region and its people. Readers were first introduced to Mayle’s France in A Year in Provence, which described his first year adapting to the Provencal culture and lifestyle. However, Toujours Provence can easily be appreciated on its own. Each chapter is its own tale. Readers get a fascinating description of a Luciano Pavoratti concert, learn of the mystery and intrigue surrounding truffles, go on an unexpected treasure hunt when gold is found on Mayle’s property, explore amazing gastronomic depictions, and so much more. Picking up Toujours Provence or any of Peter Mayle’s travel memoirs is one of the quickest, cheapest, and most rewarding travel experiences!
