Books on Provence · Guest Post · InspireProvence. Its powerful image enchants people worldwide, and many, inspired by the wonderful Peter Mayle, actually come to live here; and, inspired by A Year in Provence, decide that they have a story to tell. Most are remarkably different. Some arrive to transform crumbling chateaux with either lot of money or their own bare hands; others take on olive groves, B&Bs, camp-sites, tea shops, book shops; all have different ways of tackling French and the challenges of life here.
Passion for Provence: 22 Keys to La Belle Vie, a memoir by American Gayle Smith Padgett. Read about this couple’s long love affair with Provence and eventual move to the Alpilles. The book is available from Amazon.
