A Year in Provence

1993 · 1 season

A gentle, sun-dappled escape into rural French life, where small cultural misunderstandings become charming comic vignettes.

Overview: Annie and Peter Mayle decide, in their own words, to take the plunge: they quit their jobs as a tax investigator and an advertising executive and move to Provence in the south of France. Their first month goes from outstanding to downright puzzling: while they adore the food and wine, they encounter amusing cultural barriers.
How it feels: Warm, light, whimsical and satirical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, class, family, friendship
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
