Provence through the eyes of its writers - those who wrote of it in
Provencal or French and also those visitors who were moved by its
beauty - that is the inspiration behind A Literary Guide to
Provence. In this compact travel guide, Marseilles native Daniel
Vitaglione presents a literary panorama of the region of southern
France from the Avignon of Mistral to Colette's St. Tropez.
Including such sites as the birthplace of Nostradamus and the ruins
of the Marquis de Sade's castle, A Literary Guide to Provence
presents a thousand years of history entwined with maps and photos
that provide readers on tour with a sense of the historical import
of this most beautiful of regions even as they experience it
firsthand. Both authors of Provencal ancestry and those who came to
love and live in Provence are featured in this comprehensive and
enchanting picture of the garden place of France. The Riviera
enticed Virginia Woolf. Toulon inspired two novels by Georges Sand.
Robert Louis Stevenson resided in Hyeres, as did Edith Wharton. Le
Lavandou was Willa Cather's favorite place. F. Scott Fitzgerald
lived in St. Raphael and Juan-les-Pins, where he wrote Tender is
the Night. This illustrated guide follows in these writers'
footsteps, and the practical information on hotels and restaurants
(phones, web sites, email, etc.) make it the ideal traveling
companion for armchair tourists and those who cannot resist seeing
Provence for themselves.
