Description

In his third volume of travelogues, Peter Mayle continues to share the stories of an English couple's life abroad in Encore Provence. This account is filled with curious tales, including a school for noses, the mysterious death of a butcher, and the quest for the perfect bouillabaisse. Alongside these stories, Mayle also explores the characters that inhabit the bars and boules courts of Haute Provence.

Through his writing, Mayle reveals the importance he places on lunch, as well as the people and places that make life in France so richly appreciative. With his characteristic wit and style, Mayle invites readers to join him on this journey through the south of France.

This book is a delightful and engaging read, full of humorous anecdotes and observations about life abroad. If you're looking for a travelogue that will entertain and inform, Encore Provence is definitely worth considering.
