Book excerpt: An intimate tour of quintessential Provencal style, featuring chic homes and interior details inspired by this picturesque region Thirty years after the publication of Peter Mayle's bestselling memoir A Year in Provence, the sun-drenched southern French region continues to excite home decorators with its combination of rustic charm, elegant details, and historical influences. Provence Style showcases the best of the region, with Shauna Varvel's quintessential 18th-century Rhône valley farmhouse--Le Mas des Poiriers--as its centerpiece. Named for the working pear orchard on the grounds, the property was reimagined by noted local architect Alexandre Lafourcade, who transformed a rough structure into a luxurious expression of the Provençal aesthetic, referencing historical influences, rural traditions, and Parisian taste. Set amid a garden of allées, arbors, and terraces designed by the architect's mother, renowned landscape designer Dominique Lafourcade, this exemplar of Provençal style is the starting point for exploring the region's characteristic interior details and exterior features. The book includes chapters on the public spaces of the home, from entrances to living rooms, the private realm of bedrooms and bathrooms, and outdoor areas including patios and kitchen gardens, transporting the reader on a captivating stylistic journey.

Download or read book Windows and Doors of Provence written by Cynthia Gallant-Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who has ever gone to, or wanted to go to beautiful Provence, France, here is a collection of first-hand impressions, both in text and original paintings. The book is rich with color and vibrant with the artist's impressions of her surroundings.A group of Cape Cod painters went, organized by a French/American Cape Cod painter, to paint the countryside and hill towns, arriving on September 8, 2001. In the following days, as the world was shaken by events back home, they clung to one another, formed a new supportive family, were comforted by the generous, loving and deeply caring people of the village, and eventually decided, since leaving was not an option, to do what they had come to do. Airports were closed, phone lines home were inoperable, and so, they headed out to see, feel, taste and absorb their surroundings. They discovered for themselves that special light that the painters of the past had exclaimed over while they learned to mix their paints in a new palette of magnificent Provencal colors. They ate extraordinary food, spent a day at an ancient, still operating lavender farm, walked, talked and became one with the breathtaking beauty of Provence. This painter/writer, kept a journal of the experiences that, although they would have been extraordinary anyway, were heightened by a world immersed in shock, confusion, and fear. It is meant to be an accompaniment to her fiction; two books, in particular, set in Provence. India Street: Case of the Lethal Escargot, and A Sense of Claire.

Download or read book Provence A-Z written by Peter Mayle and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate “dictionary” for lovers of Provence: Peter Mayle's personal selection of the foods, customs and words he finds most fascinating, curious, delicious, or just plain fun. Though organized from A to Z, this is hardly a conventional work of reference. In more than 170 entries, Peter Mayle—bestselling author of A Year in Provence—writes about subjects as wide-ranging as architecture and zingue-zingue-zoun (in the local patois, a word meant to describe the sound of a violin). And, of course, he writes about food and drink: vin rosé, truffles, olives, melons, bouillabaisse, the cheese that killed a Roman emperor, even a cure for indigestion. Provence A-Z is a delight for Peter Mayle's ever-growing audience and the perfect complement to any guidebook on Provence, or, for that matter, France.

A noble family, in their chateau on their vineyard in Provence, are protecting, hiding a young Jewish boy – David. The family, Comte, wife, children, domestic staff are murdered by a member of Vichy’s fascist militia – Milice. David is wounded but survives. He is subsequently sheltered in a Benedictine Monastery until the end of the war and for some time after. The treasures of the chateau, including an Old Master, are stolen. He subsequently migrates to Australia. Many decades later he advises his employer, friend that he must return to Provence because of two disturbing incidents – a murder and possible desecration of a Jewish cemetery – where he is killed. An Australian investigative journalist, Tony Britt, is commissioned to go to France, to Provence to investigate the circumstances of David’ death. Tony goes to Paris to research the history of the Vichy government – 1940-1944 – and the persecution of French Jews during the Nazi occupation. He is joined by his companion Jo and they travel to Provence, to Carpentras where they consult with the Justice Department, the Benedictine monastery, the historic synagogue, an art historian.

Book excerpt: Provençal houses are true homes. Warm shades of ochre glow from the walls and roofs, weathered doors shine, and reflections glance off glazed ceramics and strike printed cotton tablecloths. This volume showcases the architectural diversity of Provençal houses and their interiors, gardens, and decorative art traditions. Images of gold-hued walls, iron balustrades, leafy terraces, and painted shutters inspire thoughts of balmy days in the sun. Aromatic lavender in terracotta pots and almond trees casting shade over cobbled courtyards evoke the magic of Provence-style living. The reader wanders up a stone staircase, past brightly painted walls and across tiled floors, through a variety of rooms ranging from a sun dappled kitchen to an ornate drawing room and shaded bedroom. From plain rustic benches and beds to delicate walnut armchairs and elaborate dressers, all the painted and polished accoutrements of a Provençal home are featured. From tableware to what lies beneath, to traditional flowerprint fabrics and intricate quilted textiles, the decorative florishes of Provence provide boundless inspiration for the home.
