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 A Taste for Provence written by Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provence today is a state of mind as much as a region of France, promising clear skies and bright sun, gentle breezes scented with lavender and wild herbs, scenery alternately bold and intricate, and delicious foods served alongside heady wines. Yet in the mid-twentieth century, a travel guide called the region a “mostly dry, scrubby, rocky, arid land.” How, then, did Provence become a land of desire—an alluring landscape for the American holiday? In A Taste for Provence, historian Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz digs into this question and spins a wonderfully appealing tale of how Provence became Provence. The region had previously been regarded as a backwater and known only for its Roman ruins, but in the postwar era authors, chefs, food writers, visual artists, purveyors of goods, and travel magazines crafted a new, alluring image for Provence. Soon, the travel industry learned that there were many ways to roam—and some even involved sitting still. The promise of longer stays where one cooked fresh food from storied outdoor markets became desirable as American travelers sought new tastes and unadulterated ingredients. Even as she revels in its atmospheric, cultural, and culinary attractions, Horowitz demystifies Provence and the perpetuation of its image today. Guiding readers through books, magazines, and cookbooks, she takes us on a tour of Provence pitched as a new Eden, and she dives into the records of a wide range of visual media—paintings, photographs, television, and film—demonstrating what fueled American enthusiasm for the region. Beginning in the 1970s, Provence—for a summer, a month, or even just a week or two—became a dream for many Americans. Even today as a road well traveled, Provence continues to enchant travelers, armchair and actual alike.

Download or read book Two Towns in Provence written by M.F.K. Fisher and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1983-08-12 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together two delightful books—Map of Another Town and A Considerable Town—by one of our most beloved food and travel writers. In her inimitable style, here M.F.K. Fisher tells the stories—and reveals the secrets—of two quintessential French cities. Map of Another Town, Fisher’s memoir of the French provincial capital of Aix-en-Provence is, as the author tells us, “my picture, my map, of a place and therefore of myself,” and a vibrant and perceptive profile of the kinship between a person and a place. Then, in A Considerable Town, she scans the centuries to reveal the ancient sources that clarify the Marseille of today and the indestructible nature of its people, and in so doing weaves a delightful journey filtered through the senses of a profound writer.
