British writer Peter Mayle is not only the author of Toujours Provence but he is also the book's main character. Mayle and his wife left London to relocate to the Provence region of France, which is in the southern part of that country. In this, his second book about the region, he tells of his experiences in becoming familiar with and adapting to the customs that are specific to Provence and to France in general, and of the interesting and sometimes eccentric characters that he meets along the way.
