Language: Eng.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter trying--what folly!--to live in other places, Peter Mayle is back in his beloved Provence. He celebrates his homecoming by sharing with us a whole new feast of adventures, discoveries, hilarities, and culinary treats, liberally seasoned with a joyous mix of Gallic characters. The pauses for refreshment include an unforgettable meal in a converted gas station, a rendezvous with the very best bouillabaisse, and visits to eventful weekly markets.But there is life after lunch, and we also discover a school for noses in Haute Provence, a gardener who grows black tomatoes, the secret of the oversexed butcher, a celebration of Alowine (Halloween) Provence-style, and the genetic effects of two thousand years of fois gras. There is a memorable tour of Marseille, a comprehensive lesson on olive oil, a search for the perfect cork-screw, and invaluable recommendations for splendid local cheeses, wines, honey, bread, country restaurants, and off-the-beaten-track places to stay.Never has Peter Mayle written with more unabashed pleasure about his heaven on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Mayle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52369007345946,"sku":"9780679441243","price":131.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2699\/9322\/files\/91WynbgcFcL._SY522.jpg?v=1781765347","url":"https:\/\/medicampus.store\/products\/encore-provence","provider":"medicampus.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
