Peter Mayle is not alone in Provence

We are all aware of Peter Mayle's prolific activity in promoting the Provence - especially the Lurberon. Now more support for the delights of Provence!

Susan Spano writing in the Los Angeles Times identifies 3 more reasons to love Provence:

1) APT MARKET - For visitors, it's a bacchanal of Provencal merchandise, along with inexpensive imported jewelry, clothing and housewares.
2)
LE CASTELAS RESTAURANT- eating some of the best food in Provence with your fingers while watching the sun set over the Luberon
3)
JANE EAKIN HOUSE IN MENERBES - Her paintings of its people and places were exhibited in galleries all over Europe, even though she never became famous.
