A Bestselling 1991 Travel Memoir of French Countryside Life and Provençal Culture
Trading corporate life in London for a 200-year-old stone farmhouse in the Luberon Valley, Peter Mayle and his wife set out to adapt to the slow rhythms of rural Southern France. Published in 1991, this beloved chronicle logs twelve months of domestic renovation, bureaucratic delays, and seasonal village life.
Mayle captures the warmth and comedy of Provençal living through memorable encounters with local stonemasons, truffle hunters, and goat-race organizers, interspersed with indulgent descriptions of regional wines, olive oil harvests, and multi-course village feasts.
