This illustrated volume allows the reader a private view of Provence, venturing behind closed doors of farmhouses, castles, gypsy caravans, monasteries and country houses with their beautiful gardens and landscapes. Interiors viewed range from the private apartments of a duchess to a beekeeper's home, from an art collector's stud farm to the brightly-painted weekend retreat of a sculptor, from a jolly gypsy wagon to a monestery renovated in minimalist style.
