In this witty and warm-hearted account, Peter Mayle tells what it is like to realize a long-cherished dream and actually move into a 200-year-old stone farmhouse in the remote country of the Lub ron with his wife and two large dogs. He endures January's frosty mistral as it comes howling down the Rh ne Valley, discovers the secrets of goat racing through the middle of town, and delights in the glorious regional cuisine. A Year in Provence transports us into all the earthy pleasures of Proven al life and lets us live vicariously at a tempo governed by seasons, not by days.
