Celebrated by writers from Petrach to Peter Mayle, Provence's rugged mountains, wild maquis, and lavenderfilled meadows are worldfamous. Martin Garrett explores a region littered with ancient monuments and medieval castles. Looking at the vibrant dockside atmosphere of Lubron, he considers how writers like Mistral and Daudet have captured the character of a place and its people. He traces the development of Provence as a Roman outpost, medieval kingdom, and modern region of France, revealing through its landmarks the people and events that have shaped its often tumultuous history. Through its architecture, literature, and popular culture, this book analyzes and celebrates the identity of a region famous for its pastis and ptanque. Linking the past to the present, it also evokes the intense light and sunbaked stones that have attracted generations of painters and writers.
