Synopsis
No one knows Provence better than Louisa Jones. Not only has she lived there for nearly 30 years and written 8 books on the subject, she also designs private tours that explore the "Unknown Provence" and Provenal gardens.
Originally published in 1993, Jones has completely reworked the entries in this updated version of the book. She has expanded her tour of Provence's lush gardens, exquisite wineries, local crafts, unique museums, fine hotels, and fabulous restaurants, and added 14 Provenal recipes and a section devoted to Terence Conran's home and garden. A revised index includes new addresses for streets, E-mail, and the Internet, as well as new phone and fax numbers.

From Library Journal
A resident of Provence for 20 years, Jones draws on her intimate knowledge of the area to provide a glimpse of the art of living as practiced there. Brief essays, along with local proverbs, recipes, and excerpts from such artists and writers as Van Gogh and Colette, are grouped by season and complemented by lavish photographs that capture the seasonal moods. Unfortunately, the almanac style does not lend itself to providing insightful information, and Jones's prose is too characteristic of the canned tour guide's spiel and too self-assured to be compelling. A perfect coffee-table book--beautiful, undemanding, and insubstantial. Not recommended.
