Not quite as good as [b:A Year in Provence|40189|A Year in Provence|Peter Mayle|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1535746681l/40189._SY75_.jpg|940715], but still a very cosy, relaxing read about life in Provence as experienced by a British expatriate author who settled there.

This book was a heavenly escape from my studies and from real life. Just a brief idyll in the south of France with lots of food, quirky neighbors, lovely scenery, and some relaxation by the pool or wandering the woods. Mayle's celebration of Provence is a joy to experience, even if it has made living there feel so accessible that the influx of people trying to copy him has made it less of an escape from reality.
