VINTAGE DEPARTURES MY TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN PR...

The beloved author Peter Mayle  champion of all things Provence  here in a final volume of all
new writing  offers vivid recollections from his twenty-five years in the South of
France--lessons learned  culinary delights enjoyed  and changes observed.  Twenty-five years
ago  Peter Mayle and his wife  Jennie  were rained out of a planned two weeks on the Côte
d'Azur. In search of sunlight  they set off for Aix-en-Provence  enchanted by the world and
life they found there  they soon decided to uproot their lives in England and settle in
Provence. They have never looked back. As Mayle tells us  a cup of café might now cost three
euros--but that price still buys you a front-row seat to the charming and indelible parade of
village life. After the coffee  you might drive to see a lavender field that has bloomed every
year for centuries  or stroll through the ancient history that coexists alongside Marseille's
metropolitan bustle. Modern life may have seeped into sleepy Provence  but its magic remains. 
With his signature warmth  wit  and humor--and twenty-five years of experience--Peter Mayle is
a one-of-a-kind guide to the continuing appeal of Provence. This thoughtful  vivid exploration
of life well-lived  à la Provence  will charm longtime fans and a new generation of readers
alike.
