About the book
Following his phenomenally successful debut, he explores the region's quirks, characters, and culinary delights with the same warmth and wit that captured readers' hearts. From truffle hunters and their secretive ways to the peculiarities of French bureaucracy, Mayle paints an affectionate portrait of Provençal life. He chronicles local festivals, encounters with colourful villagers, and the ongoing adventures of adapting to a slower, more sensual way of living. His keen eye for absurdity and genuine love for his adopted home shine through every observation. This delightful follow-up offers both escape and insight, transporting readers to lavender fields, bustling markets, and intimate bistros whilst celebrating the timeless pleasures of good food, fine wine, and the French art of living well.
