Encore Provence
Encore Provence: New Adventures in the South of France | Peter Mayle
3 posts | 11 read | 1 to read
In his most delightful foray into the wonders of Provençal life, Peter Mayle returns to France and puts behind him cholesterol worries, shopping by phone, California wines, and other concerns that plagued him after too much time away. In Encore Provence, Mayle gives us a glimpse into the secrets of the truffle trade, a parfumerie lesson on the delicacies of scent, an exploration of the genetic effects of 2,000 years of foie gras, and a small-town murder mystery that reads like the best fiction. Here, too, are Mayle's latest tips on where to find the best honey, cheese, or chambre d'hìte the region has to offer. Lyric, insightful, sparkling with detail, Encore Provence brings us a land where the smell of thyme in the fields or the glory of a leisurely lunch is no less than inspiring.

#NamasteNovember The lavender makes up this #PurpleCover book. The follow up to Peter Mayle‘s excellent ‘A Year in Provence‘ - when I‘m feeling cold and down, I like to read these and imagine living in the South of France.

Scochrane26 Beautiful cover. I would love to visit the south of France sometime. 5y

Pretty good but it would have been nice to have more stories about his eccentric neighbors and minus the take down chapter of the food critic.

It is a treat to be basking in the Colorado sunshine while immersing myself in sunny Provence! #armchairtravel
