Provence A-Z

“Organised from A-Z but far from a conventional work of reference, this is a selection of those aspects of Provence that Peter Mayle has found in his twenty years there to be the most interesting, delicious or downright fun.
In more than 200 entries – from Accent to Zola – he writes about subjects as diverse as architecture, expatriates, lavender, linguistic oddities, the museum of the corkscrew and a bawdy folklore character named Fanny. And, of course, he discusses food and drink: truffles, olives, bouillabaisse and the cheese that killed a Roman Emperor.”
