Provence is a land apart, a territory of outstanding beauty and
distinction that has fascinated outsiders since earliest times. It
is in its smaller communities that the true Provencal spirit can be
found. Hugh Palmer's radiant photographs and Michael Jacobs'
evocative accounts of the most beautiful villages of Provence opens
with the villages of Vaucluse and the Bouches-du-Rhone, then moves
east through the Var to the mountains of the Alpine departments and
its fortified hill villages, drawing together the special
characteristics of the region. In the brilliant sunlight falling
across the tightly grouped terracotta roofs and the velvety shade
beneath great plane trees in an ancient square, the authors
encounter the country of Marcel Pagnol and Jean de Florette, the
best-loved of all French provinces. `The photographs of simple
churches, fountains, shady squares and cobbled lanes demand
leisurely observation ... beautiful. Highly recommended for travel
and architecture collections' - Library Journal
