Skulking through Customs with a suitcase full of truffles, toads singing the Marseillaise, taking pastis lessons and finding gold at the bottom of the garden, nervously watching forest fires... The "Year" has passed, but the dream lives on as Peter Mayle slowly begins to turn native in the old stone farmhouse at the foot of the mountains between Avignon and Aix.

Review:
"Splendidly amusing" - Dirk Bogarde "Anyone with any feel for the land and the people who lead their lives close to it will be enchanted" - Yorkshire Evening Post."
Synopsis:
From vantage points as varied as the Cannes Film Festival, the "caves" at Chateauneuf-du-Pape and the Menerbes Dog Show, this book show that life in the Provence is far from the quiet and uneventful existence suggested by those postcards of empty villages and picturesque peasants. All kinds of characters are lurking in the lavender: estate agents, a disgraced gendarme, reporters from "Vogue" and hot off the autoroute and baying for social activity, the summer invaders. This is the sequel to "A Year in Provence".
