A year in Provence

About “A year in Provence”

In A Year in Provence, Peter Mayle recounts his experience of moving with his wife and two large dogs to a 200-year-old stone farmhouse in the Lubéron region. He describes the challenges of the cold mistral wind in January and the local tradition of goat racing. The book also highlights the rich regional cuisine and the slower, seasonal pace of life in Provence. Mayle offers a humorous and affectionate look at rural French living, focusing on the simple pleasures and unique culture of the area.
