«Une année en Provence» is the memoir by Peter Mayle, published by France Loisirs / NIL in hardback (378 pages, in French).
Peter Mayle devotes this book to recounting a year of his life in French Provence: arriving in the region, strolling through the markets, the rhythm of the seasons, and dealings with neighbours full of character. The author describes local life with humour and detail, halfway between a personal diary and a travel chronicle.
The cover of this edition shows a Provençal landscape painted in watercolour, and the back cover includes a quote from André Clavel.
For those who want to discover Provence through a narrative with humour and everyday observation.
Peter Mayle was a British businessman turned author who moved to France in the 1980s. He wrote a series of bestselling memoirs of his life there, beginning with A Year in Provence (1989).
