Acerca de esta escucha

An indispensable, richly informative, and always entertaining audio sourcebook on Provence, by the writer who has made the region his own.

Though organized from A to Z, this is hardly a conventional work of reference. It is rather a selection of those aspects of Provence that Peter Mayle, in almost 20 years there, has found to be the most interesting, curious, delicious, or down-right fun.

In more than 170 entries, he speaks about subjects as wide-ranging as architecture and zingue-zingue-zoun (in the local patois, a word meant to describe the sound of a violin), and as diverse as expatriates, Aix-en-Provence, the Provençal character, legends, lavender, linguistic oddities, the museum of the French Foreign Legion, the museum of the corkscrew, the origins of "La Marseillaise", and a bawdy folklore character named Fanny.

And, of course, he tells us about food and drink: vin rosé, truffles, olives, melons, bouillabaisse, the cheese that killed a Roman emperor, even a cure for indigestion.

Provence A-Z is a delight for Peter Mayle's ever-growing audience and the perfect complement to any guidebook on Provence, or, for that matter, France.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Mayle is the self-appointed pied piper of Provence for Anglophone Francophiles everywhere, and these entries, from 'Accent' to 'Zingue-Zingue-Zoun', display the same conversational style his fans have come to expect." (Publishers Weekly)

I absolutely love all of Mayle’s books on Provence. This one was particularly informative for our upcoming trip there!

Very enjoyable and informative

I have been a fan of Peter Mayle since my first listen to "French Lessons". This is an excellent and entertaining review of all things "provencale". Not for the faint of heart or casual tourist, this is deep journey, mostly on foot and often diverted. This feast leaves you both satisfied yet clamoring for more. What next?

This is an alphabetical format for telling many stories of Provence. The stories cover all kinds of aspects of life, weather, food, history, etc. I loved it.

I will listen to it again.

It was easy to listen to and transported me to Provence. It was well read as if talking with a friend.

Great book.

An absolutely charming listen about the small things that make travel and living abroad an adventure.

As only he can, Peter Mayle makes the mundane interesting and the common place unique.

From a prosthetic wooden hand enshrined in a small museum to mushrooms and truffles, to France’s only bamboo forest.

Peter introduces you to the common place and eccentric oddities that make Provence unique.

Very well-narrated, lots of fun.
We took this book on a road trip to Provence, and it was perfect.

Excellent fun

This is really one of those books you listen to a month before you go and get a glimpse of things that might be of interest about Provence. Simple, but not something I would listen to again , unless I was going to Provence.
