Review
“Striking photography and delightful prose… This beautiful guide will be a welcome addition to most travel collections.” -- Library Journal
From the Publisher
In this illuminating, photo-filled memoir, seasoned Francophile Julian More travels by road from his home in northwest Provence to Nice. Not just a guide book, Tour de Provence brings to life some of the towns and villages along the way ‹ their history and culture, restaurants and cafes, their local characters, and a soupçon of gossip. His carefully chosen itinerary, traversing mainly back roads, reveals the lovely hidden corners of this glorious region of France. Casting a wry eye on Provence¹s flourishing expatriate community, More¹s digressions sparkle with the leisurely good nature of someone who has lived and breathed the Provençal lifestyle for a good many years. Julian More¹s previous books include Views from a French Farmhouse, A Taste of Provence, Pagnol¹s Provence, and Impressionist Paris.
