Comments

The idea of organizing the whole book around days of the week is brilliant. I would strongly recommend this travel companion to anyone who's planning to visit Provence.

Thorough, accurate and mouth-watering. Essential reading for all market-hoppers.

There is no better way to experience France than by wandering aimlessly through a farmers’ market in Aix or Avignon—the colors and fragrances, the wild strawberries and fresh cheeses. Markets of Provence is indispensable, an authoritative and seductive guide to the best of the region.

Marjorie Williams reveals the best of Provence's beautiful markets in this charming guide. Her tips on brocantes, local goat cheeses, vegetable vendors, and more had me dreaming of a sun-drenched vacation, straw basket slung over one arm.

From the gracious and knowledgeable Marjorie Williams comes yet another gem for the Francophile traveler: a guide to Provençal markets that’s comprehensive, carefully researched, and a pleasure to read.

What a delicious idea--that of discovering Provence via its authentic markets! To read Marjorie's informative guide is to be whisked away in a wicker panier, one bursting with leafy parsley, nougat, and olives, as a friend leads you thoughtfully to her favorite market stands.

Wonderfully engaging and evocative. This book with its stunning images not only transports me back to Provence but makes me want to immediately pack my bags and do it all again, armed with this little gem.
