Provence - this is blooming lavender fields, picturesque towns, the olive trees and irises of Vincent van Gogh, the sea at L'Estaque, painted by Cézanne. Rich colors, vibrant life. A mosaic of dreamy landscapes and Mediterranean ease. Susanne Schaber tells us stories of vacationers who found their happiness here, legends from the Middle Ages of minstrels and troubadours, from the "sauniers" of the rugged Camargue to modern Marseille. Rounded off with numerous recipes, this travel book ignites a desire for the beloved southern French landscape!.
