Customer Reviews

I wish I had read this book at the begining of my trip!

I always try and read a book about a place I am going to. This time on my trip to Provance I started with Peter Mayle, Encore Provance, which was a little thin compared to his previous books.Unfortunately I did not start this one until almost the end of the trip and finished it when landing, I feel like I would have enjoyed my trip all the more based on the insight that Nicholas gave me. I will recommend this book to anyone who plans on touring Provance, and I will definitly reread it before my next trip!
