Peter and Annie Mayle fulfill their cherished dream when they quit the London rat race and move to rustic Provence to savor the French way of life- good food, fine wines, and seductive climate. Ah, but the Provencal way of life is something quite different- even the French find it peculiar. Based on Peter Mayle's international best seller by the same name, A Year in Provence is the hilarious first year account of the Mayles' adjusting to both the idiosyncrasies of the locals and the quaint traditions of this ancient and charming region. Vive la difference!

Winter: The Mayles bid adieu to gloomy London and begin their new life in a cozy farmhouse in the Luberon Valley. Spring: With the glorious spring comes a parade of visitors lured by the extravagant meals and the generous Mayles. Summer: Summer is slow and savory, marked by leisurely games of boules- French bowling -in town square. Fall: The year in Provence ends with crisp days and a cellar full of wine produced right on the Mayle grounds.
