Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

British author Mayle shares his adventures in France's Midi in an enchanting book that stayed on PW 's hardcover bestseller list for 19 weeks. His new book, Acquired Tastes , will be published by Bantam in May.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


From Library Journal

For fans of his A Year in Provence ( LJ 4/1/90; "Best Books of 1990," LJ 1/91), Mayle is back with more amusing tales of "la vie en rose" in the south of France. Writing with affectionate humor, he recounts such adventures as sneaking through British customs with a suitcase full of expensive truffles and digging for gold coins in his backyard with his wily and greedy neighbor. He encounters truly French eccentrics like Regis, the athlete gourmet who wears a track suit to enjoy his meals, and the ambitious Monsieur Salques, the choirmaster of the singing toads of St. Panteleon who plans to celebrate the bicentennial of the French Revolution with an amphibian rendition of the "Marseillaise." Describing a memorable 50th-birthday picnic that ends in a sudden rainstorm, Mayle conjures up hilarious images in vivid prose: "Showing through a pair of once-white, once-opaque trousers, red-lettered knickers wished us all Merry Xmas." Recommended for all travel collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wish I did not get hardback!, May 17 2004
By snowblaze (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Toujours Provence (Paperback)
This book did not live up to Mayle's first book. It's like he's trying to cash in on that fame.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goes well with Driving Over Lemons, May 10 2004
By Sarah Sammis "Avid BookCrosser" (Hayward, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Toujours Provence (Paperback)
I loved nearly every page that I read. The chapter about Vogue and real estate didn't hold my interest quite the same as the other chapters but I won't fault the book for one off chapter.

Anyone reading this series looking for another similar and equally good book to read, I highly recommend Driving Over Lemons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Light and fun
A good but not exceptional effort from Peter Mayle. Lots of fun, but a very light read. He obviously still loves Provence! One for the South of France travel fans.
