A Year in Provence

By Peter Mayle

The book that spawned a thousand dreams of packing up and moving to the south of France. Peter Mayle's beloved debut memoir chronicles his first year renovating a 200-year-old farmhouse in Provence — the eccentric tradesmen, the extraordinary food, the unpredictable weather, and the warmth of village life.

First published in 1989, it got off to a slow start before going on to sell millions of copies worldwide. It's easy to see why: warm, funny, and utterly charming, it remains one of the great travel memoirs.
