I've spent a lot of time thinking about Provence. Two weeks ago I bought the DVD adaptation of Peter Mayles' book
A Year in Provence. I watched the first disc last weekend and the second one last night. I also bought the DVD of
A Good Year, a movie adaptation of Mayles' novel of the same name. I watched that last week and the special features today.
In between all these teasers, I've been searching the internet for opportunities to go back to Provence. In 2004 I spent 10 days there for the first time. I had read Mayles' book prior to going, so was prepared for the beauty and charm, but not for the way it would continue to haunt me. I really need to go again!
I can't decide if I want to stay in Aix-en-Provence again or up in the Louberon mountains (setting for Mayles' book). Perhaps it's a good idea to try something new...
