- Wineries with excellent wines, friendly tasting rooms, and English-speaking staff—even one that makes wine the way the Romans did!
- A list of Provence’s tempting outdoor markets, by town and by day of the week.
- The best Roman and pre-Roman ruins, including some that most visitors don’t know about.
- How to explore Provence’s rich Jewish history, as the region was once the center of Jewish life in France.
- Hiking trails with magnificent views, biking routes that everyone can enjoy, plus hidden picnic spots in the beautiful countryside.
- Hundreds of links to useful websites and maps so you can find your way around.
- Advice on daily living, such as how to negotiate French toll roads and pharmacies.
- Insights into local culture (how many kisses to give someone), fascinating local history (the town that banned UFOs), and funny local expressions.
- Provençal traditions like the annual transhumance, when thousands of sheep march through town. Or the festival of St-Eloi, where horses stroll about with flowers in their manes. And if you want to see young men in tight white pants, don’t miss course camarguaise!
If you are looking for a guidebook like no other, An Insider’s Guide to Provence will help you make the most of this glorious corner of France.
