A review by kfish1829
Toujours Provence by Peter Mayle

5.0

“Light and loving…a welcoming, happy book.” That’s what the San Francisco Chronicle said about Toujours Provence and I wholeheartedly agree.

Toujours (Always) Provence is the sequel to Peter Mayle’s memoir “A Year in Provence.” Mayle is an Englishman who moved to Provence, France in the 80’s with his wife. Each chapter details a witty, comforting, and wholly entertaining anecdote about their day to day life in the French countryside. Topics range from truffle pigs, alcoholic wasps, birthday picnics, and other various gastronomic adventures. There are so many little lines that stand out and make you laugh, but you’ll have to read it for yourself to enjoy them. Once again, 5/5 and an ultimate favorite.
