15 Years in Provence

Hey, remember our discussion on A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle?

The article I just read from Newsweek, written by him, says exactly the opposite - so what does he really think? I thought it was interesting.

You're right- this does seem to be a completely different tune than he sang in his book. I'd have to look back to be sure, but I do remember an awful lot of complaining from him about the tourists in Provence.
